No. 8 on hold as Brexton Busch prepares to carry NASCAR legacy
In the wake of Kyle Busch’s sudden death at 41, Richard Childress Racing said the No. 8 car, long associated with Busch, will not be used again until his 11-year-old son Brexton takes over; the team will instead campaign the No. 33 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and beyond as a tribute, underscoring Busch’s impact as one of NASCAR’s most decorated drivers and signaling a planned family succession for the No. 8.
