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!

Hey, give Jeff a break, he had to line his ex wife's pockets too.

Jeff has a condo up for sale in new York city for 30 million.
If I remember correctly , didn't JG help some young sprint shoes in the mid 90's that ended up being a flop. Their names escape me right now. JG is my favorite driver , but he could have and is capable of giving back more to open wheel racing around the country.
As far as I recall, JG pretty much turned his back on short tracking once he hit "the big time" ala Mario a generation earlier.Fortunately, others like AJ,TS, KK did not.

It's official. I think TSR missed an opportunity. Mr. Larson is on his way to fame and fortune. The part I like is when he is interviewed, it's very obvious that his heart is in the open wheels. I hope he will still be allowed to run them when ever he can. Go get 'em future champ!

He helped Boston Reid back then that's all I heard of.
