INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — IndyCar announced Wednesday the parameters for the use of a replacement driver for next month's Indianapolis 500, where NASCAR star Kyle Larson will once again attempt to complete the “Double” by running the entire IndyCar race and the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte on the same day.

Larson wound up starting fifth last year in his debut in the rain-delayed Indy 500, then flew to Charlotte and planned to join the race there in progress.
