After NASCAR driver Kyle Busch’s sudden death on Thursday, Richard Childress Racing (RCR) announces plans for Busch’s No. 8 car. Multiple outlets report that RCR will not use the No. 8 at upcoming events, including the Coca-Cola 600 this weekend. Instead, the team says the car will be set aside and effectively retired in Busch’s honor, with its future linked to his son Brexton Busch. RCR states that the No. 8 will be “reserved and ready” for Brexton when he is prepared to begin racing in NASCAR. Several sources note that Brexton is 11 years old, and the car will remain unused until he reaches the point when he can take over behind the wheel. Fox News, Forbes, and other outlets describe the decision as both a memorial and a reservation for the next generation. The reporting is consistent that RCR is temporarily removing the No. 8 from competition while keeping it available for Brexton when he is ready to pursue a NASCAR career.
