We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.
Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.
Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.

@DirtyMoMedia@XfinityRacing@DaleJr#AskJr@DaleJr With Lajoie filling in for Elliott and Hoceavar driving the 7 how does a team go about getting a driver that already has a full time ride to fill in for another driver?
Ross what you have yet to understand is sorry doesn’t fix someone’s race car. It doesn’t give them their points back. It doesn’t give that kid who’s trying to get a shot at cup another race. That’s why you have to be smart enough in the moment to NOT WRECK PEOPLE FOR NO REASON.
