Today is the St. Louis race, the track where Kyle got his last NASCAR Cup Series win.
Looking back at these photos, I see so much more than a win. I see a dad who was so proud to have his son in his car and show confetti to his daughter. The husband teaching me how to pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate with on the flight. Laughing between photos in victory lane when I told him social was trying to figure out why he was hitting the pace car because they didn’t know Brexton and I were in the back seat waving at him thru the rear window and he was giving us a love tap.
I’d give anything for the four of us to be standing together in Victory Lane one more time.
But today, that trophy will carry Kyle’s name and be given in his honor. To know that a sport he gave so much of his life to is continuing to honor him and keep his legacy alive means everything to me. I hope every driver who holds that trophy knows they’re holding a piece of Rowdy’s story too.
Honored to bring Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s original K-2 paint scheme back to Charlotte next month!
I can’t thank @CARDIACS_Sports, Jonny Cannon and the Cannon family, and Ryan Dayvault and the Dayvault family enough for making this happen.
We’re joining the rest of the NASCAR community today in remembering one of the best to ever do it. What has been your favorite Kyle Busch video game moment over the years? #ForeverRowdy
A bow that meant so much. ❤️
This weekend, we honor Kyle with his signature bow featured on the hood. A simple gesture. A lasting legacy.

A change for the RCR 8/33 team this week: Austin Hill's name now sits above the namerail. The namerail on this car was left blank a week ago
Kyle Busch's No. 8 continues to sit just below the driver's side window in his memory.
@JoeyStone_8 Makes me wish we had one in my area! Oh well I’m moving to Georgia soon anyway! Hopefully the promotion will still be going on!! I’m not even a @BubbaWallace fan I’m just wanting the diecast lmao!
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.
