Deeply saddened by the news of Kyle Busch’s passing. What an impact in the world of motorsports and what a shocking loss.
I never got the chance to meet and get to know him personally, but I looked up to him and learned a lot from him as a driver.
I know everything is in God’s hands, but this one still stings.
Praying for his family and for all those affected whose lives he touched.
On Saturday, Nathan returns to the Young's Motorsports 24 HR Garage Door Service #42 for the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Charbroil 300 for his first race on the Charlotte Motor Speedway oval

It was a new track for the Byrdman last weekend, as he and the Arrive Drive Motorsports team ventured to Blackhawk Farms Raceway with a JDR F1000 for a weekend of SCCA fun
This was Nathan's 29th road course and 87th racetrack

Nathan's grandmother, Lala Byrd, got us started in this crazy world
She owned this sweet little #42 stock car more than 50 years ago
This year, the Byrdman runs the #42 for Young's Motorsports in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series

The Byrdman went back to NOLA a couple weeks ago to have some F1000 car fun. As noted, it was the first time in almost 6 years in a formula car, and his first time there in any car since February 2023 - getting familiar with the car and track again in this video, and would eventually progress to a new F1000 track record by nearly 3 seconds (with more to get)

It has been 8.5 months since we've gone Silver Crown racing. The Hoosier Hundred can't get here soon enough! Make plans to be at join us at IRP on May 22nd
.@RaceIRP is one of our favorite places in the world. Fortunately, between the @USACNation Silver Crown Series, the @500SprintTour, and the All-Star National Pavement Midget Series, we have 6 races there this year. We'll kick things off for that part of our schedule on May 22nd with the Carb Night Classic!

This week it's back to @Mid_Ohio Sports Car Course for some Formula Race Promotions action, with plans to smash his own category track record
From a heavy stock car one weekend to a light and nimble formula car the next weekend, the Byrdman keeps it interesting!
For perspective, the lap below is just 13 seconds off of the IndyCar record at Mid-Ohio
