After finishing fifth in NASCAR’s preseason exhibition at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Saturday night, 2021 Cup champion Larson will resume his preparations for his first attempt at the Indianapolis 500 at the one-mile, low-banked Phoenix tri-oval.

The last full season for DRR came with Oriol Servia behind the wheel in a campaign that featured four top five finishes after switching from the Lotus power to Chevrolet.
