Samantha Busch<\/a> revealed the promise she made her late husband, NASCAR legend Kyle Busch<\/a>, before his sudden death last month at age 41.<\/p>\n

The mother of two, 40, shared a heartbreaking post to Instagram<\/a> on Wednesday, June 10, that included photos of their children, son Brexton and daughter Lennix, back on the racetrack.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatching Brexton back at the track is both heartbreaking and beautiful<\/a> all at once because there are moments when I catch a glimpse of Kyle in him, the same determination, the same passion, the same spark, and for a second it feels like a piece of him is still right here with us,\u201d she began in the caption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese moments are incredibly hard, but they also remind me that Kyle\u2019s story isn\u2019t over,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt lives on through the dreams he inspired and the two children he loved<\/a> more than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samantha revealed that she made her husband \u2014 who died after a severe case of pneumonia progressed into sepsis<\/a> \u2014 a \u201cpromise\u201d while he was \u201cin the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI promised him that I would do everything I could to help our children pursue their dreams<\/a> no matter what,\u201d she said. \u201cFor Brexton, that dream is racing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noting that this \u201cwasn\u2019t a dream Kyle chose for him,\u201d Samantha said it was \u201csomething they shared.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRacing is what lights Brexton up and as long as it\u2019s the dream in his heart, I\u2019ll be right there beside him, cheering him on every step of the way,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd if one day his dreams take him somewhere else, that\u2019s okay too. And if Lennix wants to get behind the wheel (we just bought her a kart for her 4th bday) it won\u2019t be the same as having Kyle by her side but we will do our absolute best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being back on the racetrack has been emotional for the family<\/a>, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time we get to the track, we\u2019re reminded that a piece of our team is missing<\/a>,\u201d she admitted. \u201cThe person who should be standing beside us isn\u2019t there. That part is heartbreaking. But it\u2019s also where we feel closest to him, surrounded by the memories, the people, and the dreams he helped build. So, we race on \u2764\ufe0f.\u201d<\/p>\n

Days before Kyle\u2019s death, the highly accomplished racer celebrated his son\u2019s 11th birthday, writing on Instagram<\/a>, \u201cYou\u2019re the best kid on & off the track, you amaze us every day. Keep doing what you\u2019re doing and there is no limit to what you\u2019ll accomplish! Love you buddy!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the days leading up to Busch\u2019s shocking death, he continued to race despite being ill<\/a>.<\/p>\n
