                          Monday, July 6, 2026

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of an 
extraordinary American, my friend Mr. Kyle Busch.
  Kyle passed away on May 21, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina after 
being hospitalized with a severe illness. He was 41 years old.
  A motorsports legend, Kyle was known for his fierce competitiveness 
and fearless driving. Throughout his 25-year career he amassed 
countless achievements, including rookie of the year honors in both the 
Busch and Cup series, the most all-time wins in the top three NASCAR 
series and two NASCAR Cup Series Championships.
  Kyle made many visits to Capitol Hill to promote the motorsports 
community alongside the Motorsports Caucus. His determination to fight 
for the industry he loved transcended the racetrack. Kyle's commitment 
to the motorsport's community both on and off the track will be sorely 
missed.
  Kyle also fought for families struggling with infertility through the 
Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund. The Bundle of Joy Fund is a 
foundation dedicated to helping families battling infertility to 
achieve their dreams by providing access to in-vitro fertilization 
care. The Bundle of Joy Fund has awarded over 150 grants valued at more 
than $2 million, helping bring over 100 babies into the world.
  In addition to his triumphant career and prosperous foundation, Kyle 
always provided for those closest to him. I enjoyed watching Kyle grow 
from a young driver into a committed husband and loving father, 
showcasing his maturity along the way.
  Kyle leaves behind a lasting legacy in NASCAR, in the fight against 
infertility and in the lives of his family. He is survived by his wife, 
Samantha; children Brexton and Lennix; parents; and brother.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in honoring Kyle Busch and the 
remarkable contributions he made to the NASCAR community throughout his 
41 years of life.
