The reactions and tributes to the tragic death of NASCAR superstar and two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch have been rolling in, and now there’s one coming from the White House.
On Friday, the day after Busch’s death at the age of 41 was announced, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to share his condolences.
“The LEGENDARY NASCAR Driver Kyle Busch tragically and unexpectedly passed away yesterday,” the president wrote. “He was a true talent who loved NASCAR and its fans. Kyle was a WINNER! He was a two time Cup Champion, and holds the All Time Record for WINS in NASCAR’s Top Three series, and even won another just last weekend.
“Kyle’s wife, Samantha, and their two beautiful children are in our thoughts and prayers,” he continued. “Samantha was at the White House in October, for IVF. She truly loved Kyle! Rest in Peace Kyle Busch. You will always be a LEGEND! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
