"Killed me to see Kyle put in that position" - Katelyn Larson's heartfelt reflection on Kyle Larson's unsuccessful double-duty attempt

Kyle Larson's wife Katelyn recently shared a note on social media regarding her husband's Memorial Day Double attempt. Larson's historic double attempt was ruined by severe weather conditions, forcing him to miss out on starting the Coca-Cola 600 race.

Hendrick Motorsports star Larson created headlines for his iconic attempt in the Indy500-Coke600 double attempt on a single day. However, rain delayed the start of the 108th Indianapolis 500 event by several hours. Hence, Larson and Hendrick's team decided to remain at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the 31-year-old's debut in the Indy 500. As a result, the #5 Chevy driver missed the start of NASCAR's crown jewel event at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Recently, the 2021 Cup Series champion's wife Katelyn wrote a heartfelt message in a post on her Instagram handle, captioning:

"The day didn't go as planned, killed me to see Kyle put in that position. But still so proud!"
