“We send our thoughts and prayers to Samantha, Brexton, Lennix and the entire Busch family on the sudden and shocking passing of Kyle Busch,” NASCAR Radio posted on social media.

Kyle leaves behind one of the most accomplished careers in NASCAR history, winning two Cup Series championships and a record 234 victories across NASCAR’s top national series. Known to millions as “Rowdy,” Kyle became one of the sport’s most polarizing and beloved stars thanks to his fearless driving style and unmatched competitiveness.

The Busch family, Richard Childress Racing, and NASCAR released this joint statement:

“On behalf of the Busch family, everyone at Richard Childress Racing and all of NASCAR, we are devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Kyle Busch.

“Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch. A future Hall of Famer, Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans. Throughout a career that spanned more than two decades, Kyle set records in national series wins, won championships at NASCAR’s highest level and fostered the next generation of drivers as an owner in the Truck Series. His sharp wit and competitive spirit sparked a deep emotional connection with race fans of every age, creating the proud and loyal ‘Rowdy Nation.’ Our thoughts are with Samantha, Brexton and Lennix, Kyle and Samantha’s parents, Kurt and all of Kyle’s family, Richard and Judy Childress, everyone at Richard Childress Racing, his teammates, friends and fans. NASCAR lost a giant of the sport today, far too soon.

“During this incredibly difficult time, we ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy and continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Further updates will be shared as appropriate.”
