Kurt Busch to honor his late brother Kyle Busch at LeMans

One of the many that was heartbroken over the tragedy was the 2004 Cup Series champion Kurt Busch, the older brother of Kyle Busch, as he never expected to lose his brother in his 40’s. He is set to make a respectful tribute to the future Hall of Famer soon.

The veteran will drive his 2020 Chevrolet Camaro with the No. 8 in the 2026 edition of the Historic Sportscar Racing NASCAR Classic at Circuit de la Sarthe, near Le Mans. It is the number used by the veteran in his time with Richard Childress Racing.

Originally, he was supposed to drive the No:1 Chevy, but changed it in honor of his brother. It was the same car he won the 2020 Las Vegas Motor Speedway September race. It would be interesting to see how the event is going to playout for the star driver.
