“We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport’s greatest and fiercest drivers,” NASCAR said in a statement. “We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.”

Before his death, Busch was driving the No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for the Richard Childress Racing team.

Speedway Motorsports President Marcus Smith also released a statement in honor of Busch’s storied career and life.

“Kyle Busch was a champion among champions — a once-in-a-generation competitor whose grit, unmistakable driving style and relentless pursuit of excellence elevated him to a place among the very best drivers in our sport,” Smith said in part. “When Kyle climbed behind the wheel, he brought an intensity and determination that demanded respect from his competitors and inspired fans throughout motorsports.”

Charlotte Motor Speedway was the venue where Busch won the Coca-Cola 600 in 2018.

“At Charlotte Motor Speedway, Kyle etched his name in history, earning more victories across NASCAR’s top three series than any other driver in our sport, highlighted by his victory in the 2018 Coca-Cola 600,” Smith added. “Many of his remarkable 234 NASCAR victories came at Speedway Motorsports tracks where his talent and competitive spirit created countless memorable moments for more than two decades.”

Busch leaves behind his wife, Samantha, and two young children, Brexton and Lennix. He is also survived by his parents.

Notably, he was an open supporter of President Donald Trump. The NASCAR driver said it was “awesome” that Trump attended the Daytona 500 in Florida last year shortly after he returned to office.

“Anytime you get big-name people to the 500 is really special,” Busch said at the time.
