The NASCAR community is eagerly waiting for next weekend as their star driver Kyle Larson is set to attempt the iconic double duty second time in a row. His attempt at racing in both Indy 500 and Coke 600 on the same day was ruined last time over rain delay, hence he is looking for redemption. Many in the stock car racing garage is cheering for the Hendrick Motorsports driver including 23XI Racing’s Bubba Wallace.
For almost all the racers that grew up in USA, racing at the Indy 500 is a big dream and many NASCAR drivers in garage saw their dreams rekindled seeing Kyle Larson on the track. Ahead of the North Wilkesboro All-Star race drivers were asked about who among them will potentially follow the Hendrick Motorsports driver to IndyCar.

23XI Racing star driver Bubba Wallace asked about the same in at North Wilkesboro, with his friend Scott McLaughlin also being in the mix. He admitted that considering his mediocre performance in the road courses he is not considering an IndyCar move, after joking that racing looks easy at the Brickyard.
I told him (Scott McLaughlin) it looked easy… Obviously, I was kidding. He knows my road course expertise isn’t that good and I damn sure ain’t getting in one of those (an Indy car) on an oval, so I’m good where I’m at.
Bubba Wallace said via Frontstretch.com.
Further talking about watching the race, Bubba Wallace admitted that that he will be investing his time in the event rooting for both Larson and McLaughlin. It would have been interesting to see if Larson would get the better of Wallace’s friend and even if he did, being a NASCAR driver the TRD star will be happy. Also being a fun personality like Wallace, he can use that result to taunt McLaughlin.
I definitely will be paying attention, it’s cool to see. I’ll be paying attention to (McLaughlin) as well. You want to have some skin in the game.
Bubba Wallace added.
Bubba Wallace sees no better driver to be at Indy than Kyle Larson
The current NASCAR grid is stacked with generational talents alongside Kyle Larson, but no one is as versatile or experienced as the Chevy driver to do so. Bubba Wallace has the same opinion, as he doesn’t see anyone who is a better option to represent the sport at such a high level.

And you want to see how Larson’s doing because that stuff is wild… I think there’s no better person that could represent our sport right now, in that way—doing the double—than him. So yeah, it’s cool to watch.
Bubba Wallace said.
The comments from the 23XI Racing driver seems to be on point, as the other racers who has been on the same career path as Larson, Christopher Bell, isn’t matured yet or the senior drivers, Like Kyle Busch, lacks the opportunity. It would be interesting to see how Kyle Larson would perform at Indy 500.
