Kyle Busch memorial at Charlotte Motor Speedway honored the 41‑year‑old champion on Tuesday evening.
Legacy Remembered
The former two‑time Cup Series champion, who died suddenly on May 21 before the Coca‑Cola 600, left behind a record 234 victories across NASCAR’s top divisions, outweighing every other driver in history.
Ceremonial Lap
During the tribute, 11‑year‑old Brexton Busch waved the green and checkered flags as his No. 51 Legends car led the field. Tom Busch was behind the wheel, with the rest of the field following before he pulled off to finish the lap alone.
Family Continues
Brexton is competing in this year’s Summer Shootout, less than a month after his father’s passing, while Kurt Busch shared videos from the track, cheering on the young driver as he prepares for upcoming races. The full Summer Shootout schedule is available online, and videos of the moment were posted on the event’s official channels.
