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.
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.
Everything Bowness said in that interview summed it up perfectly. It’s exactly why I tuned out. I didn't watch a single game this season. There’s only so much you can say whether it’s on a podcast or as a fan before it starts to feel like what’s even the point? #CBJ
@jeff_gluck Usually I’ll be scrolling on my phone half the race, but their enthusiasm has kept me engaged the whole race…great booth chemistry all around!
@KFCBarstool his dad just won the Daytona 500, the kid got a Gatorade bath and there were chunks of ice in his shirt and team owner Michael Jordan was helping him get them out. Jeez… relax people
