The 2024 NASCAR season witnessed history, as Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson became the first driver since Kurt Busch in 2016, to attempt the iconic double. He drove for McLaren in the Indy 500 and secured the rookie of the season award. Unfortunately, a rain delay ruined his plans, and he failed to run in the Coca Cola 600.
Kyle Larson will have another shot at finishing the double this season, with the same team at helping him at the Indy 500. The Double dream, that the Chevy driver has almost full filled, is something many racers in the garage dreaming to experience. One of the many racers who have an Indy 500 start as a goal in Trackhouse Racing’s Ross Chastain.
In a recent interview, Ross Chastain shared his dreams about racing at Brickyard. He pointed out that Larson is a freak of nature and asserted that it takes something special to finish top-10 in Indy on the first start. Trackhouse boss Justin Marks knows about the dream and the racer is working on making the dream possible, potential with the help of his boss.
Larson is a freak of nature, the way he can jump in things and go fast and go put himself inside, you know, the top 10 of the Indy 500. So, yeah, Justin knows that [I want to race the Indy 500], and you know, I’ll keep working to keep racing.
Ross Chastain said via 5GOATS.
Ross Chastain is also interested in a 24 Hours of Daytona entry
In the same conversation, Chastain also shared his dream of racing in the 24 Hours of Daytona. It’s on top of his bucket list and he would have had the opportunity in 2025, as Trackhosue is racing in the event. But Marks and team had a much-experienced line-up and didn’t add Chastain in it. But the racer isn’t disheartened by it and is looking into working out something in the future.
The 24 Hours of Daytona is high on my bucket list, and I am committed to doing that one day. It wasn’t right this year with the driver lineup [Justin Marks] had available. I definitely would, I mean, he’s got a stacked lineup, but I will, I believe I will work [on] the business [side]. It’s a business.
Ross Chastain said.
The comments from Ross Chastain shows he really wants to race in the Daytona event. It will be interesting to see if the star driver can ever make his dream possible. Having the support of Trackhouse Racing will benefit Chastain.
