Report: Donald Trump’s NASCAR Visit should not affect Kyle Larson’s Double Duty 

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's potential visit to the Charlotte Motor Speedway for the famed Coca-Cola 600 sent Kyle Larson's Memorial Day Double pursuit in jeopardy. However, per the latest report by Bob Pockrass, the turnaround of the situation should favor the Hendrick Motorsports driver.

A few days back, Trump's possible attendance at the 600-mile race created a concerning situation for Kyle Larson. Being the 45th President of the United States, the 77-year-old is entitled to several lifelong benefits as per the country's Former Presidents Act.

These include pension, medical care, health insurance, office expenses, staff, and most importantly, Secret Service protection. This meant that the air corridor through which Trump would fly would restrict others from entering the airspace, and hence, Kyle Larson's trouble while flying to Charlotte from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

However, journalist Bob Pockrass said that the security personnel were developing plans to ensure smooth transit for everyone.

"Donald Trump plans to attend Coke 600. Security personnel here working thru plan. Teams have been informed additional security measures could be in place for anyone entering garage area. My understanding is it should not impact overall ingress/egress nor Larson helicoptering in," Pockrass wrote.
