#NASCAR ... Christopher Bell said that Chase Elliott reached out him to "several times" this week to check on him and also is appreciative of Chase's concern immediately after the crash.
As ugly as that accident was, this is such a great image. This is exactly what you want that wall to look like after a crash like that. Absolute life saver.
Any society that applauds taking any measure necessary to keep your dog with Stage IV cancer alive at all costs while also instantly killing your baby in the womb because of a potential disability diagnosis is evil. Point blank.
We need to reorganize our priorities again.

Wanted to share one more Kyle memory, I’ve got thousands and I don’t know where to quit.
Kyle had every job at the race track, this time as race director in Syracuse, NY when these kids couldn’t get lined up. ❤️❤️❤️
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.
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.
Kyle played a pivotal role in my early success as a young Cup Series driver trying to qualify into the field for my first couple of starts.
For the majority of my first Cup races in 2010, Kyle would take me out onto the track in a pace car and walk me through exactly how to drive it for qualifying speed, where to lift, the best line, where to be fully committed wide open, everything I needed to know.
He’d spend 30 minutes out of his day with me on a day when we both had a job to do, and we’d just talk about racing, driving techniques, what he felt, what he was looking for. I was a rookie and got to watch the most talented stock car driver in the world drive a car and tell me exactly what he was thinking as he drove it, with his specific intention to help me feel the same thing.
I’ve thought back on that time we spent together many times over the years, and I can’t help but think the tenths or hundredths of a second he helped me save were part of what got me into the field in those races. Those results are what kept me in business that year, and ultimately led to the opportunities I had down the road.
My kids are learning to race right now, we’ve been racing Go Karts here in Iowa and around the Midwest. I had to chuckle to myself last weekend while giving my 10 year old son the exact same piece advice that Kyle gave me one time at Texas about what to look for in the feel of the tire. He’s 10, and learning the basics, and I’m sure it landed different for him than it did for me at 20, but the fundamentals are the same. Race cars are race cars, you’re just trying to feel the tire on the track, and nobody understood that better than KFB.
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.
