Kyle Larson, Elk Grove’s own NASCAR Cup champion, is revving up for the premiere of his documentary“Kyle Larson vs. The Double.”This exciting film chronicles his ambitious quest to race in both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day—a feat that not many dare to attempt. As Larson explains, the making of the film wasn’t without its hurdles, including weather challenges and some unexpected crashes.
Larson admits to feeling nervous while viewing the documentary, hoping it would capture the drama and emotion of his experiences rather than just the mishaps. Thankfully, he feels it succeeded; the film really showcases the challenges he faced, alongside the triumph of winning the NASCAR Cup championship—a true“storybook ending.”
On the promotional trail, he made a pit stop at Sutter Health Park, where he threw out the ceremonial first pitch at an A’s game, humorously noting it might’ve been the first strike he’s ever thrown. Mark your calendars, because this thrilling documentary drops on May 21, promising fans an exhilarating peek behind the scenes of a racing legend’s life!
