NASCAR has honored the late Kyle Busch at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. NASCAR CEO Steve O'Donnell stood with Busch's widow Samantha and their children, Brexton and Lennix, offering support. Former driver Kurt Busch and Kyle's parents also attended. Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion, died Thursday at 41 from severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis. The tributes included a large No. 8 on the frontstretch grass, a moment of silence, and an eighth-lap silence during the race. The racing community almost mourned his loss earlier in the day at the Indianapolis 500.
