News about John Andretti

Kyle Larson, the once-disgraced NASCAR racer who returned to the sport to win a points title in 2021, will race the Indianapolis 500 next year with McLaren Racing in a joint effort with his new team owner Rick Hendrick. Larson's aspiration is finally a possibility thanks to McLaren and Hendrick's surprise announcement on Thursday. On Memorial Day weekend, he will also be the fifth driver to run 'The Double' in Charlotte, North Carolina, on the same day. The other NASCAR drivers to compete in both categories are John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Kurt Busch. Larson, who was chastised for using the word n-word on a live broadcast, has long said he wants to compete in the Indy 500. However, he did not have a viable Chevrolet opportunity for the 2023 run of 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,' (which took place in May).
