Over past 15 years, Kyle Busch mellowed & matured so much on & off the track. His talent & tenacity behind the wheel never wavered; but his ability to grasp the bigger picture as a husband, father & role model took center stage. I am heartbroken for Sam & the kids. RIP Rowdy 🏁
Memorial Day weekend has always been one of my favorite race weekends of the year, I don’t even feel like watching the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. I, like so many are SO BUMMED OUT!!! I know that’s not what @KyleBusch would want to hear, but I can’t help it…😢😢
Richard Childress Racing has elected to suspend use of the No. 8 and will run the No. 33 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and beyond. Kyle Busch was instrumental in the design of RCR’s stylized No. 8 and it has become synonymous with Kyle and an important symbol for his fans and the NASCAR industry. No one can carry it forward to the level that he did. The No. 8 is reserved and ready for Brexton Busch when he is ready to go NASCAR racing.
Wanted to share this video I got at Atlanta earlier this year after Kyle won the truck race. I loved seeing this happen in the moment and it means more now.
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.
