From Kansas to Indiana to North Carolina -- and back and forth a few times -- this stretch of May has Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson logging almost as many miles on the race track as he does traveling in the air.
A knockout of the field last weekend at Kansas Speedway set the stage for a two-week stretch that will see Larson in three different car types, on multiple tracks, as he once again barrels toward The Double -- an attempt at completing both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, May 25.
One day after his Cup Series win at the 1.5-mile track, Larson was in Kokomo, Indiana, in a High Limit Racing sprint car race at Kokomo Speedway. He charged from 17th to sixth in the main event, logging a top-10 finish as Rico Abreu won in spectacular fashion.
Now, it's over to the big oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for Indianapolis 500 prep this week, with the NASCAR All-Star Race looming.
Below is Kyle Larson's schedule through the Coca-Cola 600.
