If you’re a NASCAR under the age of 47, you’ll be watching your first ever Cup race today without a Busch or an Earnhardt in it.
The 2026 Coca-Cola 600 will be the first NASCAR Cup Series race without an Earnhardt or Busch in the field since 1979.
@philenespanol When I’d hear Denny and Rowdy get booed at the track, I’d think “NASCAR is going to be a lot more boring when they retire.”
Man…. I can’t believe Kyle is gone.
every day is a privilege and today is a truly sad reminder of that.
this little boy in this picture hated you on sunday’s. but he loved to hate you, and you made it very difficult to hate and not become a fan when your passion for racing showed, when you would show up to his home town to race at his home tracks. he will be forever grateful for that.
from a fan, to a hater, to a competitor, to a teammate, and to even maybe a friend. i share that story because this little kid in the picture was not anywhere near the true number that you impacted for the better just through racing.
you will be deeply missed. both on the race track, but certainly off.
RIP. 🕊️
It’s impossible to formulate all my thoughts into a tweet. But Kyle is one of the most talented athletes I’ve ever witnessed. One of the greatest Nascar drivers of all time. I’m gutted myself and for his family, friends, and fans. I’m so sorry. Rest in peace Kyle Busch🏁
