So long, partner 🫡
This isn't my entire KFB collection, it'd take forever to get them all rounded up. Anyway, I was at the race he won with the 1:24 car, so that car had a lot of meaning to begin with, but after today that meaning quadrupled.
I'm gonna miss him, thank you for the good times Kyle, we love you ❤️
Jay Frye has shared a mockup of a Kyle Busch Indycar that was going to be used for an attempt at "The Double" that never materialized.
Understandably, Hendrick Motorsports has canceled their Fan Fest scheduled for tomorrow ( 5/22 ).

Information for anyone who planned on going...
We love you Kyle ❤️
Alex Bowman's doggo Fin has been diagnosed with cancer.
Life won't give him a break lately, prayers to the Bowman family 🙏
Worst officiating decisions in Indycar history?
In light of the colossal screw up by race control this weekend, what are some other horrific officiating mistakes that were made in Indycar?
Off the top of my head, I think of the following...
Surfers Paradise 2002.
Edmonton 2010 and the Helio Castroneves "blocking" penalty.
The late stages of the 2023 Indianapolis 500 ( Santucci not getting a pit penalty, not throwing a red flag after O'Ward crashing, and the infamous Red, White, and Checkered ).
Apparently Grosjean tried to fight Armstrong after the race.

Obviously anything after Germany 2001 is impossible to predict, but between 1998 and pre Germany 2001, how does his Indycar career look? He gets another year in the unstoppable Target Ganassi Honda Reynard and assuming he stays at Ganassi gets 2 stabs at the Indy 500 before the crash. Do you think he wins Indy and/or another championship and possibly makes his spot on the Indycar Mount Rushmore?
This is meant to be a thought provoking post, don't read to deep into it.
Rest in Peace, Alex 🙏
An inspiration to all.
When people ask what are the best races in Indycar history, most people say Fontana 2015, Brazil 2013, the Hanford Device races at Michigan and Fontana, and maybe some of the races at Chicagoland Speedway. But what are, in your opinion, some of the best races that do not get the recognition they deserve?
One of my choices would be the 2020 Road America Race 2, a bit of chaos at the start, intriguing strategy and good battles through the field, and an intense fight for the win with the winning pass made with 2 laps to go.
