“The prayers, messages, flowers, meals, hugs, and countless acts of kindness have carried us through the most heartbreaking days of our lives,” Busch said. “While our hearts are absolutely shattered, we have felt God’s presence and arms wrapped tightly around us through each and every one of you.”
In the post, she added that the family has had a lot of love “during this unimaginable time” and that they have received “comfort in the middle of so much pain.”
His family said that Kyle died after he was hospitalized for pneumonia that progressed “into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications.”
Kyle Busch took home first place in the most races in history: 234 races across the sport’s three national series.
The Instagram post, accompanied by the caption, includes a photo of the family of four. In the photo, Samantha is pictured with Kyle and their two children, Brexton Busch, 11, and Lennix Busch, 4. Brexton is seen on Kyle’s back while Samantha holds Lennix.
“Knowing the impact Kyle had on others and seeing how they are honoring him through each unique act of generosity is a true testament to how special Kyle is to so many people,” she continued. “There are moments when the weight of this loss feels impossible to carry, yet time and time again God, through you all, has shown us we are not alone.”
She ended the Instagram post by thanking those who have shown up for her and her two children, including family and friends and strangers.
“We may never find the words to fully express what your support has meant to us, but please know that we are deeply grateful.”
