Arrow McLaren will only be allowed to call upon Tony Kanaan in a worst-case scenario that would see Kyle Larson withdraw from competing in the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500.
Larson is making his maiden attempt in the Indy 500 as part of ‘the double’ on Memorial Day Weekend that includes running the 600-mile NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 26. He is driving the Chevrolet-powered No. 17 that is co-entered by Arrow McLaren and Rick Hendrick.
Despite being out of the car for several months, Santino Ferrucci showed up with helmet in hand and was approved to replace Harvey after he was withdrawn from the race. Ferrucci was allowed a brief special session to get acclimated ahead of the race before being required to start from the back of the 27-car field before going on to finish ninth. The unique view on the current stance by IndyCar is that relief drivers were allowed at one point, notably the 2004 Indy 500.
