“Competing at the Indianapolis 500 is a dream of mine and something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time – since I was a child before I ever began competing in sprint cars. To do it with Arrow McLaren, and Mr. Hendrick especially, is a dream come true. I’m grateful for the opportunity and am really looking forward to it even though it’s still about a year-and-a-half away. I’m really looking forward to competing in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 and maybe even get a win or two that day.”

Kyle Larson is an 11-year NASCAR Cup Series veteran with 19 race victories and a championship to his name, as well as The spent most of his Cup Series Career with Chip Ganassi Racing (an organization that also has a championship-winning IndyCar team), before he was fired for during a broadcasted iRacing event during the COVID shutdown in 2020.
