Funny follow-up: I was one who said 53 instead of 52. … Fast forward to Corey Lajoie kickball, I was asked what number I wanted. I said 52. When Kyle saw me there, he asked if I was a Stewart Friesen fan. And I told him I picked 52 to remember to get it right. He laughed.
.@DaleCoyneRacing will run its No. 18 car in tomorrow's Indy 500 with the same font that Kyle Busch used for years @JoeGibbsRacing to pay respect to the NASCAR legend.
➡️ DCR said that @TownsendBell had the idea and that @FOXSports and JGR helped assist on the effort.
genuinely fuck whoever came up w the dumbass idea to replace THE DICTIONARY BUILT INTO GOOGLE with the ai overview's definitions i hope everything in their life fucking sucks
I made him earn every victory and stole a few from him along the way. We took our shots at each other, in the media and on the track. But I’d like to think that somewhere deep down there was an appreciation that we pushed each other to perform at the highest level, even if neither of us would’ve admitted it.
Tonight, I feel a little like the coyote with no more roadrunner to chase. His loss is all of our loss, but none more so than his family’s. Thinking of Samantha, and Brexton and Lennix who lost their father today.
Our hearts go out to Kyle’s family. Kyle had a massive impact on our community as a fierce competitor and as a friend. His contributions to the sport were immeasurable. Our prayers go out to Samantha, their children and the entire Busch family, as well as Richard Childress Racing, the NASCAR community and Kyle’s many friends and fans. A legend and champion forever.
We are devastated to hear of the passing of our friend and partner, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch. We began working with Kyle and his team at Richard Childress Racing three years ago, sponsoring him for NASCAR races. That relationship quickly grew as we came to recognize his ambition, kindness, and generosity.
On the track, he was one of the greatest of all time as the winningest driver in NASCAR history, with a combined total of 234 wins across all three of the sport's national series. Off the track, he was an even more legendary father, husband and friend. The Morgan and Busch relationship will live on through his son, Brexton, and his incredible family.
We are sending love to Samantha, Brexton, Lennix and the entire Richard Childress Racing Team and NASCAR 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.
