Busch family leads emotional Coke 600 tribute to Kyle Busch
TL;DR
Ahead of the Coca-Cola 600, Kyle Busch's wife Samantha, son Brexton, daughter Lennix, brother Kurt Busch and their parents joined a tearful grid memorial days after his passing. The emotional ceremony featured bagpipes playing 'Amazing Grace', a moment of silence led by NASCAR CEO Steve O'Donnell, and Kurt laying eight roses for his brother. The race began with a missing-man formation and fans held up eight fingers in KB’s memory, while KB’s renumbered No. 33 carried the tribute on track as the No. 8 remains retired unless Brexton someday uses it.
