Former Verizon IndyCar Series champion Tony Stewart said he would endorse another attempt at "the double" from Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kurt Busch.<br /> <br /> Earlier this year, Busch competed in the Verizon IndyCar Series Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the same day.<br /> <br /> "I'm 100 percent supportive if he wants to do that again," Stewart said. "I thought for somebody that had not been in an IndyCar to go over there, and as tough as the IndyCar Series is right now, to have a performance like that was unbelievable. He did a phenomenal job."<br /> <br /> Busch made his first IndyCar start in this year's Indianapolis 500. Despite crashing a car early on in practice, Busch qualified in the 12th position. He then turned in a sixth place finish on race day.<br /> <br /> Busch then flew to Charlotte Motor Speedway to compete in the Coca-Cola 600, where he was sidelined by engine trouble 271 laps in, relegating him to a 40th place finish.
