KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Kyle Larson said he would turn his attention to the Indianapolis 500, and a second crack at racing immortality, the moment he stepped out of his car following the NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday.

The only problem with that? He wasn't due for practice at Indianapolis Motor Speedway until Tuesday.

Plenty of time to squeeze in another race.
