Larsons car on the WoO tour, but you didn't hear about it from me. And don't talk bad about Mrs. Jinkins. (In Living Color)

So is the "BIG" new that he is going to big game treestands team?

Hes in Larson ride . And i didnt hear it from Mr. Highside.

Sure wish Shane would land a full time ride. such a great driver and one of the "good guys" in racing

If this is true, I hope Paul Silva is part of the deal. 

This past October at the Eldora Sprintacular, I talked to Shane while he waitied for the drivers meeting to start.  I asked him about the rumor with Kyle starting a WoO team, and that I had heard that he would be driving it.  He said that Kyle was
starting a team and they had talked about it, and he didn't know if it would be a one or two-car team.  He also mentioned Rico as a possible driver.

I told him that I hoped that things worked out for him with this deal.  I mentioned to him I remembered a victory lane interview he gave a few years ago after winning an All Star Sprintweek race (one that Kyle had ran in as well).  Shane complimented Kyle and said he hoped Kyle would remember the sprint car guys when he moved onward and upward.  Shane smiled when I reminded him of that.

I had never met Shane Stewart before, and I found him to be very nice.  I became a big fan that day.  I wish him the best, and personally, I really hope he is part of Kyle's new team!

I'm not sure Kyle will own a team in 2014. He has one more year on his original Ganassi contract. Not that he isnt being paid well now, but I would expect double or more on his next nascar contract. Tony and Kasey didnt or couldnt own a team till after they received bigger contracts. A perfect fit would be Stewart Hass then Kyle and Tony could travel to sprint car races on the company jet.  

It seems like the Larson team thing, if its true would be a natural fit since Kyles ran the 57 car some and has worked with Silva also quite abit. I know its not in stone yet but does make sense. I would also guess if theres truth to it that Paul Silva will be part of the deal as well. Maybe its going to be a deal where Larson will be a Co-owner of the 57 with Paul Silva and that will be enough money then that they can put the team on the tour.

I'm thinking that the money's coming in pretty good already for Kyle, I believe he bought an auctioned helmet at the Trophy Cup Kick game for $30,000 and is donating it to the HoF, I don't think you spend that kind of money on something like that if your not making pretty good money.

Ricky Stenhouse had a national full time team when he was just running the Nationwide series, so I could easily see Larson starting a team to have some fun with.

I believe Kyle's deal with Ganassi was for seven or eight years. Anyone know for sure? Silva is an excellent crew chief and he and Shane have worked together alot. Would be a great team

From what I heard from a VERY reliable source.  Those helmets that Kyle bought @ the Trophy Cup are being "loaned" to the Hall of Fame, he is not donating them, they are for his personal collection.

Stewart will drive for Larson. Big Game Car still available

I'm sure it's not likely to happen, but it would be nice to see Chad Kemenah get a shot in the second Big Game car.  He's really paid his dues and worked hard to stay out on the road.  It'd be good to see him get another shot in a well-funded deal.

When they announced Dollansky was out of the big game car they indicated the #7 was being dissolved.

It would be cool to see larson and silva co ownere of the big game 57 with rico part of the team with abreu vineyard 24 and paul caling the shots  for both of the cars. 

He only brought motors to that deal
