Kyle Larson completed a successful test run with the Arrow McLaren team at Phoenix International Raceway. He drove the No. 17 McLaren-Hendrick entry and completed 150 laps on the 1.0-mile oval. Larson mentioned that the smaller track made him more uncomfortable as things happened quicker and he had to lift off the throttle. The balance of the car was not perfect, but he was able to work through some issues and even had a moment where he almost spun out. Arrow McLaren has also made key appointments in preparation for Larson’s Indy 500 debut, including hiring IndyCar race engineering veteran Mike Pawlowski and NASCAR specialist Brian Campe as the main voice in Larson’s ear from pit lane. Larson’s goal is to win both the Indy 500 and the 600-mile NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 26.
