Kyle Larson took a brief respite from the playoff chase by turning his first laps in an IndyCar. He looks like a natural. During a stopover in Indianapolis, the 2021 NASCAR champ quickly passed the Indianapolis 500 rookie orientation test, turning a fast lap of 217.898 mph before leaving for this weekend's race at Las Vegas.

And Arrow McLaren driving coach Tony Kanaan, the 2013 Indy champ, tried to keep things light when Larson’s team started making too much of the data. He told Larson to savor the moment. Practice conditions in the spring also are likely to be completely different from Thursday’s ideal weather — warm, sunny and calm with no traffic or tow speeds.“When you’re running more throttle, it’s easier to kind of hit your target,” Larson said. “So the slower the speed, it was just kind of hard for me to figure out my timing. Like I would roll out and want to run wide open through one and two.
Gordon won four Cup championships and a record five Brickyard 400s at the track located just a few miles from his high school. But the one dream he didn’t achieve in racing was running in the 500, something he is now content to do through Larson’s presence.
