While Kyle Larson has not had the best of outings in the 2025 Indy 500 open test, he sat for an interview with Arrow McLaren ahead of the ongoing event, wherein he shed light on his favorite moment from last year's Indianapolis Motor Speedway event.

Larson competed in the 2024 Indy 500 with Arrow McLaren.

"I would say the first day of qualifying, was really cool just with all the hype and pressure and people that are there. I didn’t expect our car to qualify that well to make the next day. I would say those two days were the highlight of my two weeks, along with the people and the atmosphere. I mean, there were more people there for Qualifying than I typically see at a race weekend, so that was cool," Larson said.

Kyle Larson has enjoyed success in various rungs of racing. From being the 2021 Cup Series champion to claiming titles in the World of Outlaw series, Kubota High Limit Racing, and the Chili Bowl Nationals, he has done it all. Last year, he also made a decent debut in the prestigious Indy 500 event.

In the 2024 Indy 500, the 32-year-old was able to manage a respectable 18th position and earned the Rookie of the Year title. Moreover, he was able to end his challenging 200-lap outing ahead of then-Juncos Hollinger racing driver Romain Grosjean.

Several eyes will be on Larson at next month's Indy 500 as he eyes a top-10 finish in the #17 Hendrick Arrow McLaren car.
