The McLaren Racing CEO believes the famed F1 team to be a crossover team and deemed Hendrick Motorsports the "McLaren of North America".In an episode of the Dirty Mo Media podcast with Dale Earnhardt Jr., Brown mentioned one of the most successful Formula One team's participation in other forms of racing like the Formula E, Extreme E, Can-Am and IndyCar Series. Furthermore, the British racing team's CEO talked about their involvement with Hendrick on account of former Cup Series champion Larson's attempt for a second try for the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 double.Brown reckons it's not just for the passion for racing but from a sponsors and business perspective. He said (0:47):"When I joined McLaren, one of the things I said was, look, you know, we got to get our F1 team back on track, but I'd like to see us back in other forms of racing. So we're kind of a crossover team."He added:"So I think to go racing with Rick Hendrick, who's kind of the McLaren of North America, just an icon in North American motorsports. I think that's kind of consistent with our brand. "And ultimately from a business standpoint, our sponsors want to see us in America as much as Formula One's taken off in America. I want to have a bigger piece of America, if you'd like. Majority of our sponsors, U.S. will be the most important market, if not the most important one of them."In his pursuit of the historic 'Double Duty', Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson had a failed first attempt.He will look to succeed in partnership with Arrow McLaren to compete in the racing capital of the world for the esteemed Indy 500 race, followed by a Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the same day."We have unfinished business" - Kyle Larson on his second attempt at the Memorial Day DoubleIn his first attempt at the 1100-mil race, Kyle Larson failed to start the Cup Series race due to uncontrollable weather conditions at Indianapolis and Charlotte, which he deems it as unfinished businessSoon after his first Cup Seris playoff race, it was announced that he would attempt 'The Double' on May 25 next year.
