Kyle Larson was granted a waiver by NASCAR to stay eligible for the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs even though he did not start the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Hendrick Motorsports requested the waiver because Larson was racing in the Indianapolis 500. Due to weather delays, Larson finished the Indy 500 and missed the start of the Coca-Cola 600. Justin Allgaier drove in Larson’s place, starting at the back of the field. Larson was set to join the race later but rain, lightning, and a thunderstorm caused its cancellation. Allgaier completed the race, finishing 13th, but Larson did not earn points as he didn’t start the Cup Series event. The waiver allowed Larson to maintain playoff eligibility as per NASCAR rules.
