This is a devastating loss and one that is hard for the NASCAR community to process. Kyle was a fierce competitor who demanded the very best from himself each time he put on the helmet. As teammates, I saw firsthand the passion and intensity he brought to the sport every single day. He was a champion and prolific racer who made a tremendous impact on NASCAR and was a lifelong advocate for all forms of motor sports. But beyond the track, he loved his family deeply and was incredibly proud of Samantha, Brexton and Lennix. My thoughts are with the entire Busch family during this extremely difficult time.
It's always a good time for a visit to victory lane 🏁
Join us in congratulating @chaseelliott and the @Hendrick9Team on yesterday's win @MartinsvilleSwy 👏👏👏 Proud of our driver and crew for all the hard work and dedication it takes to be the best 👊 #di9
Probably the biggest thing I miss about cup racing—- having enough sets of tires for the CC’s to make calls to shake things up and make something happen.
9 group and AG did an amazing job in that last stage. Congrats to everyone @TeamHendrick and @TeamChevy
CHASE ELLIOTT (Martinsville Cup Winner!) Q: This will be your third clock if you count the truck series. What are you going to do with it?
" I don't know. That's a good question. They have a new one. It's actually really nice. I don't know if you saw it. It looked super cool. I didn't know they changed manufacturers. That's kind of neat, to get the first one of the new manufacturer. That's a pretty big deal.
Great trophy, though. It really is. Great honor to have one, much less have two now, it's pretty special. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. We'll figure it out. Good problem to have, for sure." Chase Elliott
