Austin Cindric Shares Favorite Memory of Kyle Busch

Austin Cindric recently shared his favorite memory of Kyle Busch, who passed away almost two months ago. Cindric recalled the 2021 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Road America.

What happened?

Cindric had sustained damage while leading the race, and during a caution period, Busch walked over to help.

The incident

Busch started beating the crap out of Cindric's right rear fender, trying to pull the sheet metal away from the tire so they could race fairly to the finish.

Aftermath

Despite Busch's efforts, the tire eventually went flat, and Cindric was forced to pit, settling for an eighth-place finish. Busch went on to win the race.

Cindric was struck by Busch's actions, saying it showed mutual respect between them.

Respect in the garage

Kyle Larson also shared his favorite memories of Busch, talking about their battles on the track and conversations about their sons' racing careers.

Larson admitted he would miss those conversations and the competition with Busch.

The passing of Busch has left a void in the sport, but his legacy lives on through the respect he commanded in the garage.

Cindric's story about Busch is a testament to the respect they had for each other, even in the heat of competition.

Busch's relentless competitiveness and respect from his peers will never be forgotten.

On Memorial Day weekend, Larson found himself checking the weather, even without the pressure of preparing for Indianapolis.

Cindric's memory of Busch will stay with him for a long time, a reminder of the respect they had for each other.
