breaking news; Kyle Larson suspended from race due to brain injury……
It all started stellar, with the parties involved keeping their contingency plans close in case something went south. And what would you know? Everything that could go wrong, went wrong.
A speeding penalty took him out of contention for a top-10 finish at the Indy 500. Then, ceaseless rains over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway forced the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte to go green with Justin Allgaier in Kyle Larson’s seat.
The 2018 Xfinity champ fought hard and put the #5 car in 13th position around Lap 248. Until it occurred that the rain clouds had followed Kyle Larson from Indianapolis to Charlotte. Only a lap later, the race was red-flagged because of relentless weather. Larson became just another casualty of the infamous logistical barriers of the Indy-Charlotte double, as he wasn’t able to run even a single lap.
This sparked a whole new debate for weeks to come: should Kyle Larson get a waiver for missing an entire race? Well, long story short, he did. Right now, the man sits as the number-one seed in the 2024 playoffs
