NASCAR is back in Charlotte for Memorial Day Weekend.
The 2025 Coca-Cola 600 is on Sunday, where there will be plenty of storylines to follow — but arguably none will be bigger than Kyle Larson's second-straight attempt at "The Double," as he first competes in the Indy 500, travels to Charlotte, then takes on the Coca-Cola 600.
Ahead of the NASCAR race, Larson put himself in a strong starting position in qualifying on Saturday, although it was a different driver who took home pole position.
