"Carl...please jump in the No. 5 car" - Kyle Larson on pick for substitute during Indy-Charlotte double

Kyle Larson previously stated that he would like NASCAR Hall of Famer Carl Edwards to drive his car during practice for the NASCAR All-Star Race while he competes in the Indy 500 qualifiers.

During an interview with FOX Sports' Bob Pockrass in February this year, Larson said:

"I think it would be great, that’s my pick this year. I’ve mentioned it to Jeff Gordon and Cliff [Daniels], but nobody outside of that. So, it’s not anything serious right now, but that’s who I would pick. I think that would make a huge splash in the sport and be great...Carl, if you happen to see this, please jump in the No. 5 car. We want you."

However, Edwards, who was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame this year, declined the offer this month. The 28-time NASCAR Cup Series winner retired in 2016 and will join Amazon Prime Video as a studio analyst for NASCAR races.

Edwards will start the new role on May 25 for the Coca-Cola 600. He’ll work alongside Danielle Trotta and Corey LaJoie.

Meanwhile, Kyle Larson attempted the Double last year but missed the start of the Coca-Cola 600 after a rain delay of the Indianapolis 500. He will try his second attempt at completing both the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, this Memorial Day weekend in May.
