Kyle Larson will not run Australian Supercars event

NASCAR star Kyle Larson has pulled out of a planned Supercars debut at the Adelaide Grand Final this November.

Larson, 32, was set to contest the Supercars event as a wildcard with PremiAir Racing, as well as tackle the circuit’s speedway aboard a Jason Pryde Motorsport sprintcar.

However, the NASCAR Cup Series champion has now informed key stakeholders that he will not be going ahead with the plan.

The decision comes off the back of Larson’s troubled attempt at the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 double last month, in which he crashed in both races.

The Adelaide event is the only Supercars race to take place outside the 36-race NASCAR Cup Series season, making it the only possibility to host one of the championship’s drivers
