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.
every day is a privilege and today is a truly sad reminder of that.
this little boy in this picture hated you on sunday’s. but he loved to hate you, and you made it very difficult to hate and not become a fan when your passion for racing showed, when you would show up to his home town to race at his home tracks. he will be forever grateful for that.
from a fan, to a hater, to a competitor, to a teammate, and to even maybe a friend. i share that story because this little kid in the picture was not anywhere near the true number that you impacted for the better just through racing.
you will be deeply missed. both on the race track, but certainly off.
RIP. 🕊️
This was from 2017-18ish- he wanted to run the double- we worked hard to help make it happen- we got close- even held #51 for him for years- if anyone could have won the double it was Kyle Busch- RIP KB 🙏
If anyone wants to use these. Please do so. Got asked to create it, wanted to share to all. Made his current number and the famous 18.
Free of use, do not need to ask for permission!
Rest in peace Kyle.
Here are 4 version, 8, 18, 51 and no number

As a fan, I began watching full time in 2011. This is the first time I can think of since Dale Sr that a driver has passed while still an active competitor. Shocking
Kyle Busch was to the Truck Series what @DaleJr is to the O’Reilly Series. Trom the stand point of owners who have helped develop and mold careers of guys we see on Sundays. His KBM owner run is Hall of Fame worthy alone. A major loss for the sport.
Kyle Busch’s impact in NASCAR goes beyond his ability as a driver.
