That’s when Tony Stewart stepped in and lent the use of his plane to get Stefan by Justin’s side. Stefan was able to make the flight from his home in Indianapolis to join the rest of the Wilson family.

notes that this isn’t the first time Stewart has lent his plane to other racers’ families in a time of need. He tends to quietly do so without much fanfare, but the multitude of tweets from other IndyCar drivers thanking him outed his good deed this time.
