CHARLOTTE, NC (WCNC) – The racing community continues to mourn the sudden death of two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, who died Thursday, May 21, at 41. Now, a family who knows the pain of loss all too well is honoring him.
The family of Greg Biffle, the former NASCAR driver killed in a Statesville plane crash in December, along with his wife, son and daughter, released a statement on Facebook reflecting on their friendship with Busch and offering condolences to his family.
“The
passing of Kyle Busch is incredibly difficult to comprehend. First and
foremost, we are praying for Sam, Brexton, Lennix, Gaye, Tom and Kurt.
They stood with us through our own grieving just five months ago,
holding our hand at the service and continuing to offer support and
love. A loss like this is unimaginable for any family, and our hearts
ache for them.
Kyle was larger than life—iconic, fiercely competitive and an
amazing friend to Greg. They leaned on each other often, not only
through racing, but through life and personal challenges as well. Greg
and Kyle spent time together in Glamis during the offseasons, enjoying
watching their boys together and always looking ahead to the future with
excitement and pride.
It’s hard to imagine our racing community without Kyle. The impact of this loss will be felt far beyond the racetrack. We love the Busch family and will be here for them in any way they need.”
