RCR retiring Kyle Busch's No. 8 car until his son can take over
Richard Childress Racing is temporarily retiring Kyle Busch's No. 8 Cup Series car -- at least until the late driver's 11-year-old son Brexton is ready to take over behind the wheel.
RCR will run the No. 33 car on the Cup Series circuit beginning Sunday night at the Coca-Cola 600 and for the foreseeable future after the 41-year-old Busch died unexpectedly Thursday. The cause of death has not been released.
Austin Hill is scheduled to replace Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion, in the driver's seat at Charlotte Motor Speedway for NASCAR's longest race of the season.
Busch's son, Brexton, is already known for his racing exploits, having won the Tulsa Shootout Jr. Sprint Championship to earn his first career Golden Driller last year.
