NASCAR Hall of Famer Kurt Busch speaks publicly for the first time on network television about the death of his younger brother, Kyle Busch, which occurred about three months ago. In an interview with NBC’s TODAY, Busch describes the shock and the personal impact of the loss, including what he misses about their relationship both off and on the track.
Busch also explains how he is honoring Kyle’s legacy and the way it is shaping what he does in the present. He says he is nurturing Kyle’s legacy through his son and emphasizes the bond he and Kyle shared during their time racing together, including the “vibe” they had on track. Yahoo Sports adds that Busch discusses the final hours he spent with Kyle and why he plans to remain more involved in his family moving forward. Both outlets present Busch as reflecting on the closeness he shared with his brother and the lasting effect of his passing.
