Brexton Busch honors dad Kyle with hug photo as NASCAR mourns

Brexton Busch, 11, paid a heartbreaking tribute to his father, Kyle Busch, by updating his Instagram profile picture to a hug with the late NASCAR champion after his sudden death at 41. Kyle Busch reportedly died after becoming unresponsive while using a racing simulator at a Charlotte, NC facility. In response, Richard Childress Racing suspended the use of Kyle Busch’s No. 8 in the interim, as Brexton’s family and the racing world mourn the loss; Brexton had celebrated his birthday just days earlier, and Kyle Busch’s last professional victory occurred the prior Friday in the Craftsman Truck Series.
