Trump Pays Tribute to Kyle Busch, NASCAR Champion Who Died at 41

12 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 22
  • Trump posted a Truth Social tribute Friday, calling Kyle Busch a "LEGENDARY" driver and extending condolences to his wife Samantha and their two children a day after Busch's death was announced.
  • 41-year-old Busch was a two-time Cup Series champion and held the record for 234 wins across NASCAR's top three series, with his last victory coming less than a week before his death in a Truck Series race at Dover.
  • Wednesday's medical emergency preceded the announcement: Busch reportedly collapsed during a racing-simulator test, was hospitalized, then was ruled out of this weekend's races — including the Coca-Cola 600 — because of a "severe illness" before his death was confirmed Thursday.
  • Samantha and Kyle Busch had also become prominent IVF advocates through their Bundle of Joy Fund, launched in 2015 and credited by USA Today with more than 150 awards totaling over $2 million.
