CONCORD, N.C. — Kyle Larson is doubling down on “The Double.” Larson is set to run both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, a task he set out to accomplish last year but never had a chance to complete after weather disrupted the NASCAR star’s plans.

The Cup Series driver in his first season at Joe Gibbs Racing will start on front row alongside Kyle Larson for Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte.

Overlooked? Underappreciated? Throw any superlative you may over Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and the rebranded Hyak Motorsports in 2025, but one thing has been certain through 12 races this season — consistency.

Chase Briscoe won the pole for the Coca-Cola 600 and will start on the front row for NASCAR’s longest and most grueling race alongside Kyle Larson.

CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 26: A general view of racing during the NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 26, 2024 in Concord, North Carolina.

As another Coca-Cola 600 approaches Sunday evening (6 p.m. ET, Prime Video, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), it sparks all the fond memories for Ryan Blaney\"s return to Charlotte Motor Speedway, where he was victorious in the 2023 edition of NASCAR\"s longest race.

The biggest milestone belongs to seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson. After driving the IndyCar two-seater with NFL legend Tom Brady as part of the parade laps at the Indianapolis 500, he will then head to Charlotte to take part in the Coke 600.

Back-to-back 33rd-place finishes notwithstanding, Bubba Wallace finds himself in a unique position entering Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
