NASCAR's Kyle Larson Back At Indianapolis For Possible Final Indy 500
Kyle Larson is back on track at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a two-day Indy 500 Open Test in what may his his last attempt at competing in the Indy 500.
www.forbes.comKyle Larson has competed in the Indianapolis 500 in recent years as part of his IndyCar program with Arrow McLaren, but there has been no indication of a current, official entry for 2026 in the Indianapolis 500 as of the latest public reports through 2025. For the most reliable update, I can pull the latest headlines if you’d like.
Key points to know
- Indy 500 involvement: Larson has pursued the Indy 500 multiple times, most notably in 2024 and 2025 with Arrow McLaren, testing and racing efforts around the month of May [Forbes 2025 recap; IndyStar 2025 coverage].
- Schedule overlap considerations: In recent years, Larson has balanced NASCAR commitments with Indy 500 plans, including discussions about the timing and logistics of racing The Double (Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600) on the same day. This has influenced whether and how he competes in Indy 500 in a given year [YouTube INDYCAR coverage and related reporting].
- Current status: If you need the precise status for May 2026 (whether he’s entered, planning a return, or focused on NASCAR), I can look up the latest official announcements or team statements and summarize them with citations.
