CONCORD, N.C. — Jeff Gordon leaves no doubt. Kyle Larson will be at Charlotte Motor Speedway to start Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600. Gordon, the vice chairman of Hendrick Motorsports, said Saturday that Larson “is going to be here for driver introductions at 5:25 (p.m. ET). That’s the call.”

Neil Paine goes inside the numbers to break down Kyle Larson's second quest to complete the 1,100 miles in the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600.

He won the pole with Italian team Prema Racing, a dominant European organization that this season expanded to IndyCar. Shwartzman has never before raced on an oval and will start alongside two-time winner Takuma Sato and Pato O’Ward, who lost to Newgarden on the last lap year.

Kyle Larson is the favorite to win the Coca-Cola 600. But will his attempt to complete "The Double" foil a first-place finish?

Kyle Larson describes his fellow Hendrick Motorsports Cup drivers as “vanilla” compared to athletes from other sports and teams.
