The Indy 500 went green at 4:46 p.m. The plan is for Larson to leave immediately after the Indy 500 and replace Allgaier whenever he arrives at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Gordon had a similar predicament as Larson in 2000, when the Indy 500 was rain-delayed and he missed the beginning of the Coke 600 before joining mid-race like Larson plans to do. Driving for Arrow McLaren at the Indy 500, Larson qualified fifth for his first IndyCar race. Allgaier, meanwhile, will have to drop to the rear of the field prior to the start of the Coke 600.
