Do I think it's a real development deal, no.
He's friend with Stewart , probably gets some equipment and tech help from them but nothing more .
The father has some money and is putting it out there for the kid to race, which is good for the sport, but 12 is to young.
The kid is Bubba's Kid Named Tyler and as of What Bubba says on his radio station is Him and Tyler is really good friends with Tony Stewart. Bubba has even had Stewart on his radio station. Also Tyler does drive for Stewart in TSR Development which as of my research is a real thing.
My opinion is for a full size sprint car it should be at least 16 years of age no younger and for a 410 i would say 17-18 years of age.
FYI I am 17 years of age trying to go to 305 or 360's from 1000cc Upright mini sprints.
This is 100% my opinion, through my research and what Bubba (Owner of Bubba Raceway park which tyler was racing at) said on his radio station.
