Summary
Instagram posts on Sunday showed Samantha Busch describing nights without Kyle Busch as "almost unbearable," saying she sleeps with his shirt and a body pillow after putting their children to bed.
Kyle Busch died on May 21 at 41 after severe pneumonia progressed to sepsis; the two-time NASCAR Cup champion had collapsed during a simulator session ahead of the Coca-Cola 600 and died the next day.
Busch's death came just after his 234th and final NASCAR national-series victory at Dover, one week earlier, where he led 147 laps in a dominant Truck Series win.
Across a Cup career that began in 2004, Busch made 762 starts, won 63 Cup races and two championships, and set NASCAR national-series records with 102 Xfinity wins and 69 Truck wins.
