yes but this is something many drivers here have done for a very long time and that is a factor, an indycar is vastly differant then a heavier nascar, or running instinctively on the dirt that he does so well and dominated here in indiana and ohio in the 2010's, this is about precision, but I would love to see him win the 500 then you could put him up there with the all time legends, would be something if he cam over to irp and ran the pavment hoosier hundred on carb day for the carb night classic he won the last true hundred at the state fair he could very well do it and win it again

As an outside to this Larson guy, I just have to know why he's not going for F1? It is a far more technical and challenging series to drive, Americans have always been terrible at it as the Europeans start their kids training when they're 6 years of age. Difficult to say this being an American myself, but we have had zero good F1 drivers, ever. Williams has one on their team now, Logan Seargent, and he's incredibly good but not at all competitive with the Europeans.

@@Selmerpilot Too old, and zero relevant racing experience in Europe. If you think Logan is uncompetitive with all of the training he has had, you wouldn't wanna see how Larson would fair... edit: As for why more Americans don't try for F1? Its simple. Money. The average parent with F1 Ambitions spends ~$1,000,000 just on their child's karting career... That kind of money alone goes much further racing in the states aiming for NASCAR or even INDYCAR.
