Regarding Hendrick, Kyle Larson, Connor Zilisch and the Charlotte-Indianapolis double
No, Kyle Larson completing a generally unplanned Knoxville-and-Richmond double does not make him any more likely to attempt both the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day ever again.

On Tuesday, Kyle Larson expressed his disinterest in attempting both the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day again. Rick Hendrick, Larson's team owner, also expressed no desire to be directly involved in such an endeavor. Larson has had enough of the logistical challenges that come with scheduling both races. Despite his initial plan to race in Knoxville and Richmond, a rainstorm forced him to shift his focus to Iowa, where he won the Knoxville Nationals feature.
Larson's win in Knoxville allowed him to secure a plane ride back to Concord, and he was able to arrive in time for the Iowa race. Although Hendrick provided support for Larson's plane ticket, Larson had no intention of racing in both Indianapolis and Charlotte. Now, Hendrick has signed another driver, Connor Zilisch, who also expressed interest in attempting a double in the future, but Hendrick remains reluctant to participate in such an arrangement.
Zilisch, however, remains hopeful about the possibility of racing in the Indianapolis 500 in a Hendrick Motorsports-backed effort.
