Editor’s Note: After initially finishing 27th, Larson has now been scored with a 24th-place result in the 2025 Indianapolis 500 following post-race inspection.
The biggest day in racing featured NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte Motor Speedway (won by Ross Chastain), the Indianapolis 500 for IndyCar (won by Alex Palou) and the Monaco Grand Prix in F1 (won by Lando Norris). Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson was attempting to race all 1,100 miles in the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600, but his effort fell short after a crash on Lap 92 of the Indy 500. He also crashed out of the Coca-Cola 600 after 245 of 400 laps.
