In an Instagram post on Friday, Samantha and the Busches\u2019 children, Brexton and Lennix, wrote: \u201cThe prayers, messages, flowers, meals, hugs, and countless acts of kindness have carried us through the most heartbreaking days of our lives. While our hearts are absolutely shattered, we have felt God\u2019s presence and arms wrapped tightly around us through each and every one of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Busch died May 21 after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming complications, according to a statement released by the family soon after his death. According to his death certificate, Busch had pneumonia for \u201cdays to weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Busch\u2019s unexpected death devastated the NASCAR community.<\/p>\n

He was thought to have had a sinus cold while racing at Watkins Glen on May 10 and radioed in to his team saying that he needed a \u201cshot\u201d from a doctor after the race. He continued racing and won the Truck Series race at Dover before finishing 17th in the All-Star race, five days before his death.<\/p>\n

Busch also attended the opening of a go-kart track with 11-year-old Brexton days before his death.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s message on social media was the first statement from his wife and children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe love that has surrounded our family during this unimaginable time has brought comfort in the middle of so much pain,\u201d Samantha Busch wrote. \u201cKnowing the impact Kyle had on others and seeing how they are honoring him through each unique act of generosity is a true testament to how special Kyle is to so many people. There are moments when the weight of this loss feels impossible to carry, yet time and time again God, through you all, has shown us we are not alone.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cFrom family and friends to fans and complete strangers, thank you for showing up for us. Thank you for loving our family so well. Thank you for loving Kyle. Thank you for honoring him. We may never find the words to fully express what your support has meant to us, but please know that we are deeply grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Busch won Cup Series championships championships in 2015 and 2019 for Joe Gibbs Racing. The younger brother of NASCAR driver Kurt Bush, Kyle Busch won a record 234 combined races across NASCAR\u2019s top three national series. He had 63 Cup victories and added 102 O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts wins and 69 Trucks victories.<\/p>\n
