ORIGINAL POST 9-6-2024: Make no mistake: Kyle Larson wants to run the Indianapolis 500 again next year.

The deal he and Hendrick Motorsports signed with Arrow McLaren Racing was always a two-year deal, but 2025 was an option year that Larson said Wednesday is still being ironed out.

If he had his way, a decision would be made sooner rather than later.

"I would love to. We‘re still working on it," Larson said. "It‘s progressing. So I like that, but obviously things can always change."

…

"I would love to because I didn‘t get to do 'The Double‘ this year. So that‘s really why I wanted to do it," Larson said. "I obviously wanted to compete in the Indianapolis 500, but more than anything, I wanted to do 'The Double‘ and have a chance at winning one of the two, or both, and I felt like I just didn‘t get that opportunity."

A decision on Indy could come as early as next week.
