Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden has set his sights on completing an IndyCar-NASCAR "double" after 2021 Cup Series winner Kyle Larson's attempt at the weekend. Larson finished 18th at the Indy500 in Indianapolis and raced to Charlotte to compete in the Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 but bad weather ended his chances of completing the "double" after the later race was ended prematurely.

On the heels of his second consecutive Indy 500 win, Josef Newgarden said he would be interested in running the double with the Coca-Cola 600.

Full-time racing in NASCAR, Larson is usually behind the wheel of a hulky stock car — a stark contrast to IndyCar’s lighter, faster open-wheeled ride. But the 31-year-old former NASCAR champ is one of the most versatile drivers in the country, maybe the world.

Kyle Larson's IndyCar venture has inspired the two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, Josef Newgarden, to attempt the 'Double'.

Kyle Larson missed NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 after rain disrupted his chances to get to Charlotte in time from the Indianapolis 500. IndyCar owner Roger Penske hopes the driver gets a waiver to compete in the Cup Series playoffs.
