Austin Dillon Honors Kyle Busch Legacy

Austin Dillon steps up with grace and grit after the tragic loss of Kyle Busch, honoring his legacy by rallying the team to “ride for the brand” — echoing Busch’s own spirit. Drawing strength from the team’s resilience after Dale Earnhardt’s passing, Dillon credits Mike Verlander’s leadership and recalls Busch calling him one of his best teammates just weeks before his death. Dillon, who first recruited Busch to Richard Childress Racing in 2023 — a season that ended with three wins and became Busch’s final Cup triumphs — insists Busch would want them to keep fighting. “Go kick butt,” Dillon says, channeling Busch’s competitive fire. Richard Childress is set to speak publicly next weekend at Michigan, as the team continues to honor a legend whose 63 wins place him eighth all-time.
