Kyle Busch honored by US Senate with bipartisan resolution

The United States Senate approved a bipartisan resolution on June 17 honoring the late NASCAR driver Kyle Busch. The measure, introduced by Senators Ted Budd and Thom Tillis (both Republicans from North Carolina) alongside Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen (Democrats from Nevada), places Busch’s achievements in the Congressional Record. It cites his record 234 career victories across NASCAR’s three national series, 19 consecutive seasons with at least one Cup Series win, and Cup championships in 2015 and 2019.

Beyond statistics, the resolution highlights Busch’s impact as a father and mentor, noting his role in guiding his son Brexton’s early racing career. It also acknowledges his family—wife Samantha and children Brexton and Lennix—and commemorates his death on May 21, 2026. The Senate tribute reflects the broad respect Busch earned within motorsports and the wider American public.
