Kyle Larson’s attempt to complete “The Double” ended abruptly on Sunday.
Larson could not finish the Indianapolis 500 of 500 miles, since it caused an accident of three cars in Tour 91. The race had just returned to Green when Larson was running to climb the classification. He was in a tight herd when he went down and lost control of his vehicle.

The shipwreck picked up Sting Ray Robb and Kyffin Simpson, finishing his days too.
“It was a little crazy there at first. I got very tight behind Takuma (Sato),” Larson told Fox after he left the center’s care center. “I was very close to him. I released and then put on a bit for the whole place and turned. Yes, I just hate … I got too anxious there in the restart and caused that clash. I hate all those who were trapped in it. Yes.
“Try to overcome this quickly and try to get to Charlotte. Try to forget and try to win the next one.”

“The main reason why I love to compete. I like to challenge myself, you learn new cars and all that. And I like to compete in the world’s biggest races. So, doing two of them on the same day, it’s quite good,” Larson said.
“For me, I want to do it while I am at my best. I am only 32 years old, I feel that I am at the top of our sport, I felt that the moment is suitable for that. I do not know how long my career will last in the Nascar … I think it will be really fun to make a race in the course of the road, only to experience that type of cars that have a lot Men, and also men, and men.
