Jim Dedmon Kurt Busch, 47, had broken his silence following the death of his younger brother, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, who died from pneumonia that developed into sepsis at age 41. Having not posted since his brother’s passing, Kurt shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram featuring photos of him and his brother. “My heart is broken, but I know your spirit will always ride with me. Rest easy, little brother,” the post reads. The brothers, who had nearly a seven-year age gap between them, were “more than just fierce competitors,” according to Kurt’s tribute. As the only brother duo to each have 30 Cup wins, the Busches were the most decorated brothers in NASCAR. In an infamous 2007 All-Star Challenge, the brothers crashed and didn’t speak to each other for months afterward, but, having been side by side for their entire lives and careers, ultimately made amends out of their shared admiration and respect. In his post, the older of the Busch brothers acknowledged the public support following his family’s loss. “Thank you, everyone, for the well wishes, support, and love for my brother and our family.” View this post on Instagram Read it at TMZ Read more at The Daily Beast.
