Kyle Larson Indy 500-NASCAR results: Updated race standings, highlights from 2025 double attempt

Kyle Larson struggled mightily in his quest for the vaunted Memorial Day double on Sunday.

The Cup Series supernova toiled in his attempt to complete the two crown jewels of the weekend, the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600. Larson saw not one but both of his attempts end in flames; Larson wrecked out at the Brickyard before being caught in a multi-car collision in Charlotte.

Larson seemed far more likely to find success in the Queen City, where he saw in the front row after a scorching qualifying run. He found success in the race's opening stage and looked a candidate to compete for the title. That is, until he scrubbed the wall and damaged his once-glimmering chariot.

The rest of the race was a blur for the former Cup Series title-winner, who spun out a few laps later. Larson found himself multiple laps down at one point in the race.

And although he was able to claim the lucky dog as the race progressed, Larson never looked in position to post an especially impressive finish.

In the third stage, Larson's car got tangled with Ryan Blaney, Chase Briscoe and Daniel Suarez. It was enough to knock the Hendrick Motorsports star's steed out of the race for good, consigning him to a 37th-place finish.

Couple that with a lowly showing atop Indianapolis' cherry-brick road — soured by a mid-race collision — and the day went about as badly as possible.

"I hate the way the day went," Larson said. "I wish I could hit the reset button. I feel terrible for everybody, especially for [car owner] Rick Hendrick,"

It's unclear whether Larson will try his luck at the doubleheader next year. He certainly seemed less enthused than he was following the 2024 iterations of the races.

"The Double is a tough undertaking," Larson said. "The window of time is just too tight."

2:22 p.m. -- One quarter of the way through the Indy 500, and Larson is up to 23rd.

2:07 p.m.-- The drivers are back to green for Lap 30.

1:55 p.m. -- There is light rain, and the yellow flag has come out for a caution. This is bad news for Larson, who needs this race to run smoothly to have a chance to make it to the Coca-Cola 600.

Larson may be forced to leave the Indy 500 early, as new rules for NASCAR have his playoff eligibility on the line if he misses the Coca-Cola 600. 

I think they'll go as long as they can with Larson and then he'd just be forced to get out. New NASCAR rule says he would lose all his playoff points for the entire season so he really has no choice if he wants to run for the Cup title. https://t.co/aVBpc5awAh

12:50 p.m. -- We are currently under a delay to fire engines. Larson has to be having flashbacks to last year when he tried to pull off double duty. The 2024 Indy 500 was delayed almost four hours and it caused him to miss the Coca-Cola 600.
