Samantha Busch Breaks Silence on the Passing of Kyle Busch
What’s Happening? Samantha Busch, the wife of late NASCAR Champion Kyle Busch, shared a heartfelt thank you to the NASCAR community…
NASCAR Hall of Famer Kurt Busch shared a heartfelt message to fans on social media following the passing of his brother Kyle last month.
The passing of NASCAR legend Kyle Busch impacted the NASCAR community in many unexpected ways.
Not only was Busch one of the greatest drivers of this generation, but for many fans, his passing marked the first time this century that a member of the Busch family would not be on track in one of NASCAR’s National Series
Most of the sport’s younger fans grew up watching both Kyle and Kurt racing and winning on the sport’s biggest stages, with both making their debuts at the national level in the early 2000s.
Since the passing of Kyle, Kurt has kept to himself, making an appearance alongside his family at a pre-race memorial for Kyle at the Coca-Cola 600 just days after Rowdy’s passing.
During that ceremony, Kurt did not speak, but momentarily took center stage, placing eight white roses on Kyle’s No. 8, which was painted on the infield grass at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
But, Monday morning, Busch finally opened up to the NASCAR fanbase with a short yet heartfelt note posted to his social media.
Kurt closed out his message by adding a note directed at Kyle, saying, “I will forever be grateful for the memories we made, the lessons you taught me, and the brotherhood we shared.”
His post is similar to that of Samantha Busch’s, which thanked the fans for loving Kyle and their whole family, helping them get through this challenging time.
While Kurt and Kyle are often compared to one another success-wise, their combined on-track legacies challenge fellow NASCAR legends and brothers like the Labontes and the Allisons.
Over their combined 1538 races in the NASCAR Cup Series, the two combined for 97 wins, six crown jewel wins, one Daytona 500 win, and three NASCAR Cup Series titles.
