1. Kyle Larson from NASCAR to IndyCar

If there is one race that NASCAR drivers want to run outside of their series, it’s the Indianapolis 500. The Indy 500 is one of the oldest motorsports events in the world, and has attracted the attention of many stars of stock car racing but not everyone can realistically compete in it.

The best prepared driver to make that move may be the quickest rising star in the Sprint Cup Series. Kyle Larson already has a connection to Indy with his team owner Chip Ganassi. While Ganassi has not been willing to enter a fifth car at the Indy 500, perhaps one of his NASCAR drivers could convince him otherwise.

Larson has won in every discipline he has raced, and it’s only a matter of time before he wins at stock car racing’s top level. His run at Indianapolis would also be a way to honor his close friend Bryan Clauson. Clauson competed in the Indy 500 three times, and It would be great to see Larson race at Indianapolis in 2017, much like Stefan Wilson did in 2016 following the death of his older brother Justin.

Who would you like to see race in a different division, and where would you like to see them race?
