Stewart is driving Larson's car, which is owned by Rico Abreu's father, in select shows in the last two months of the season. We will be following this story over the next week.
Now the next question is if EGR will run Kyle in a few races at the end of this season (not in the 42), like other owners have done in the past with drivers-in-waiting. The thing they have to be careful of is not running enough races with Kyle this year so as to not jeopardize his Rookie status for next year. If so, what races would EGR run him in? Martinsville, Taladega, Charlotte? Pure speculation on my part. Fun to think about though!
Awesome news on the WoO team too, now Kyle needs a USAC team as well!
