NASCAR fans were quite emotional on Sunday night
"Deep respect for Owen, his mama bear, and all the wives stepping up to show support for one of their own. 💔," one wrote.
"Wow. Did not notice that on the broadcast. We have a good generation coming up in our beloved sport," one fan added.
"This part is what got me. Brexton has a huge family behind him!" one fan added.
"Just so sad for them 😭🙏🏼 God wrap them up," one fan added.
The Busch family, meanwhile, continues to mourn this tragic loss.
"Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch. A future Hall of Famer, Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans. Throughout a career that spanned more than two decades, Kyle set records in national series wins, won championships at NASCAR's highest level and fostered the next generation of drivers as an owner in the Truck Series. His sharp wit and competitive spirit sparked a deep emotional connection with race fans of every age, creating the proud and loyal ‘Rowdy Nation.' Our thoughts are with Samantha, Brexton and Lennix, Kyle and Samantha's parents, Kurt and all of Kyle's family, Richard and Judy Childress, everyone at Richard Childress Racing, his teammates, friends and fans. NASCAR lost a giant of the sport today, far too soon.
"During this incredibly difficult time, we ask everyone to respect the family's privacy and continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Further updates will be shared as appropriate."
