Busch’s shocking death came on the heels of him returning to Charlotte Motor Speedway to compete in the next NASCAR event.
NASCAR remembers Busch with touching tribute video
The two-time Cup Series champion passed away at 41 years old on May 21 after claiming 69 victories in his NASCAR career. However, Busch will be remembered for much more than just his on-track wins.
The auto racing league revealed a special Kyle Busch video tribute that includes his wife Samantha and two young children. The tribute is more emotional since Busch’s No. 8 car is on-hold for his son Brexton until he’s old enough to race.
Recent days have shown how much Busch meant to the auto racing community, especially fellow drivers he competes with weekly. Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski and Bubba Wallace are just some of the NASCAR racers to show their love and support for Busch’s family during the terrible aftermath.
