Kyle Busch’s wife, kids make first public appearance since racer’s death for emotional moment of silence at Coca-Cola 600

Kyle Busch’s family joined the NASCAR community at the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, breaking down into tears during a moment of silence for the late NASCAR driver — who died from severe pneumonia earlier in the week. 

Busch’s wife Samantha, 11-year-old son Braxton and 4-year-old daughter Lennix were on hand at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The heartbreaking moment came during a moment of silence for Busch as his wife and son stood in the paddock, feeling the emotion of the moment. 

As bagpipes played in the background, Samantha was handed Lennox. 

It came just three days after Busch’s shocking death at the age of 41, and it marked the family’s first public appearance.
