The NASCAR world is still mourning the sudden loss of Kyle Busch two weeks ago. As the racing world attempts to pick up the pieces after the tragedy, drivers keep finding opportunities to honor Rowdy.
As catured by FloRacing, Larson paid tribute to Busch with the bow following his victory at Davenport in the High Limit Racing charity race. He then announced his race winnings will be donated to the Bundle of Joy Foundation.
“This time I’m going to send this to Kyle and Samantha Busch’s foundation, the Bundle of Joy. We all know how much the Busch family means to all of us and we greatly miss, Kyle.

In the first race following Busch’s sudden passing, Larson honored his long-time friend by putting “Tiny Kyle” on his car. It was the nickname that both Kyle and his son Brexton Busch called Larson.

Just over a week later, Larson won his first race since Busch’s passing and paid tribute to him in the perfect way. He also revealed during his interview that a celebration of Busch’s life will take place Tuesday, with Larson and many other drivers and NASCAR members in attendance.

Of course, that was not the only way that Larson intends to honor Busch. The Bundle of Joy Foundation, created by Kyle and Samantha, helps provide money to couples in need who are struggling with infertility and the costs tied to IVF treatment. The donation will be a true difference-maker for a couple who is ready to start the next chapter of their lives together with a family, with Kyle and Samantha’s foundation making a massive impact on making IVF more affordable for so many people.
This probably will not be the last time we see a NASCAR driver perform the iconic bow after winning a race. Denny Hamlin just did it on Sunday after winning the Cracker Barrel and others will absolutely follow suit in the weeks to come. Plus, with Larson and other drivers shining a light on the Bundle of Joy Foundation, the meaningful work done by Kyle and his wife will live on for years and generations to come.
