That would be close to getting him a full season with a top team.

A guy like Larson would have no issue getting funding for a one-off and it's highly unlikely he would be stepping into a mid pack or worse team or a one-off project, Andretti, as an example, is a team that has continually expanded for this race. I know this isn't going to go down well here, but the fact is that if you are spending money to compete over here a guy that runs nothing but dirt ovals for the most part is not where you are looking, there is plenty of proven talent in RTI, the European ladder, sports cars, etc. with established records and backing and don't have to learn to road race in these cars. The days of waiting for someone to call you are, for the most part, long gone and taking things into your own hands by looking for backing, taking the proper developmental path, etc. is something the Eurocentric drivers have long been ahead of as far as it pertains to their American peers who just truly now making strides in.
The fact is the road to this series and race exists if drivers here truly want to take it, it will just mean having to get out of the comfort zone.
