It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠
You knew it! My new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Disney and @Pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?
You can pre-order now exclusively at https://t.co/NoneI6kxdH and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
After a devastating crash left him questioning whether he'd ever walk again, Kyle Busch set two goals: stand beside his wife when his son was born and get back behind the wheel.
Never forget when Kyle Busch spotted a fan wearing his hat at a stoplight and signed it through the car window before the light changed.
So wholesome. RIP #8 🏁
Daniel Suarez had an incredibly thoughtful answer when I asked him how difficult it is to accept the circumstances of Kyle Busch's death.
"It's difficult because it was completely unexpected. When somebody's sick, when somebody gets old - Maybe there is a chance, right? But when the guy's healthy, he just won a race last week, 41 years old - You don't expect this.
"And then somebody like him that has won so much, I mean, you almost see him as one of the superheroes, you know? One of those guys that 'hey, if something happens to him, he's gonna be okay.' It's tough. It's very, very tough. ... It's just very, very shocking. You know what I mean? It doesn't matter how it happened, but it's just very, very shocking to lose a legend like this."
Suarez has experience with losing a peer in racing: He was on his way into the NASCAR Mexico Series in 2009 when Carlos Pardo, the series' inaugural champion, was killed in a crash at Puebla. While Suarez intersected with Pardo, he explained how losing Kyle Busch is much different for him personally.
"When Carlos passed, I only had raced against him once. I wouldn't call him my friend, because I was just coming up. This guy was my friend.
"And Julia is friends with Samantha, and I know Brexton very well, I know Lennix - I have known Brexton since he was a baby. It's just tough. It's just a lot of things. A lot of things. It's a little different, because I felt like this person was somebody that I was close to."
My friend sent me this image someone took of Kyle Busch's M&M's car sitting outside MARS HQ in New Jersey with a floral arrangement placed on the hood and in front of the car in Kyle's memory.
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.
This was the moment that truly encapsulated how much Kyle Busch meant to NASCAR.
The strength of Samantha and Brexton. They will always have a massive extended family to lift them up.
Well done, @NASCAR
Asked Chase Elliott if he has considered recusing himself from the Most Popular Driver Award voting to allow Kyle Busch that honor, as his father Bill did when Dale Earnhardt died in 2001.
"I would be in extreme favor of Kyle winning the vote. I think that he's a guy that certainly poured a lot of his life into this sport. Although he might've been getting boos a lot of weeks, he also had a lot of fans, and a lot of really passionate fans.
"I really haven't processed all of that, I guess, to get to that point. But I would certainly be in favor of him winning and whatever it took. Yeah, I think it would be really deserving for him to have that honor."
