Kyle Larson’s dream of completing auto racing’s classic double on Sunday ended early after he crashed on lap 91 of the Indianapolis 500.
Larson was heading into Turn 2 after the IndyCar race returned to green on that lap. He lost control as he went low into the turn and downshifted. That led to Larson spinning and crashing into Sting Ray Robb.
Larson got out of the car on his own. He said he will head to Charlotte, N.C., where he is scheduled to race in NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday evening.
“I got loose and just kind of got all over the place,” Larson said on the FOX broadcast. “… I got a little too eager there on the restart and caused that crash. I hate it for everybody that got caught up in it.
“Bummed out. (Will) try to get over this quickly and get on with Charlotte. Try to forget about it and win the next one.”
Larson left the Indy 500 grounds a short time later via helicopter to start the journey to Charlotte.
Earlier in the race, Larson’s car stalled during a pit stop, costing him time and positions.
