A lot of folks forget that Cliff Stewart and his Hot Rod Barns were literally Morgan Shepherd's savior:

Cliff was a crusty character with his ever present cigar stub hanging from the corner of his mouth. During my first year managing the Wrangler racing program in 1981, Cliff's Pontiac took Morgan Shepherd to victory at Martinsville in the Virginia 500. In 1987, Cliff took me on a personal tour of his Spectrum Furniture factory when he was trying once again to put together a sponsorship deal that never materialized. Though he won way back in 1962 with Jim Paschal, Cliff is probably best remembered by newer fans for giving Rusty Wallace his first full-time Cup ride. With Cliff's passing, NASCAR has lost another of its historical figures. R.I.P.

In the case of the #42 car, primary sponsor, Target is leveraging its suppliers to pay the cost of their racing program. That's why each week you see the names of various products sold at Target scattered all about Kyle Larson's car. However, don't know if that Coke logo on the deck lid was part of that leveraged sponsorship program or allowed to be sold separately by Ganassi. Don't know what the going rate is today for a rear deck lid, though.
