An emotional pre race at the Coke 600. Kurt Busch lays down 8 flowers on the infield No. 8 for his late brother Kyle Busch. Not a dry-eye in the speedway.
Kyle Busch is the reason we've written so many rules. Him being the exception to the rule and being inducted into the NASCAR Hall Of Fame this year would be the ultimate fitting and loving tribute.
It's not emotional. It's what's right.
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.
