I hope it’s okay that I keep posting memories of Kyle the way I saw him. It’s how I would want you all to see him, too. /the one where he and @KurtBusch swiped a hotel baggage cart and ran it down the streets of Nashville:

Steve O’Donnell summed it up perfectly - “American Badass” - What a description of Kyle Busch AND the sport I love so much. I have no damn clue how to change the oil in any car, but I have been a NASCAR fan since birth. Nothing will shake me from my dedication. I love everything about this community.

The NASCAR garage watches in silence, and drivers, crew members are overcome with tears as the No. 33 is unloaded… No name is displayed on the car. #NASCAR

A silent garage pays its respects as the No. 33 @RCRracing Chevrolet unloads at @CLTMotorSpdwy.

Move this entire room as-is into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. 234 national-series wins is amazing, but this room allows you to envision it.

Austin Dillon’s tribute to Kyle Busch is absolutely heartbreaking today. 💔🏁 #KyleBusch #AustinDillon #NASCAR

Classic KB! I remember this so clearly.

Just three days ago Kyle Busch with wife Samantha on son Brexton’s birthday.

We are heartbroken at the loss of Kyle Busch, the winningest driver in NASCAR national series history. Our thoughts & prayers are with Busch family, friends, and fans through this difficult time. We will miss you, Rowdy.

Statement Regarding Kyle Busch from the Busch Family: “Kyle has experienced a severe illness resulting in hospitalization. He is currently undergoing treatment and will not compete in any of his scheduled activities this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We ask for understanding and privacy as our family navigates this situation.”

This was priceless!

@KyleBusch will forever be one of the most misunderstood drivers of all time… But one of the things he taught me was if you want to lead that’s a part of it and you have to turn your back to the crowd of haters… So when we were on stage together he did that every time. My heart is unbelievable heavy for the Busch family & our industry. Rest in Love Legend. 🙏🏾

I made him earn every victory and stole a few from him along the way. We took our shots at each other, in the media and on the track. But I’d like to think that somewhere deep down there was an appreciation that we pushed each other to perform at the highest level, even if neither of us would’ve admitted it. Tonight, I feel a little like the coyote with no more roadrunner to chase. His loss is all of our loss, but none more so than his family’s. Thinking of Samantha, and Brexton and Lennix who lost their father today.

Wanted to share this video I got at Atlanta earlier this year after Kyle won the truck race. I loved seeing this happen in the moment and it means more now.

A sweet tribute from the Carolina Hurricanes for Kyle Busch before Game 1 tonight.
