, Denny Hamlin and many others — paid tribute to Busch on Thursday. Those tributes — which were not limited to NASCAR — are set to carry into the weekend. Spire, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Richard Childress Racing are among the various entities that have already announced additional ways to honor Busch in the coming days and — in some cases — years to come.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway held a moment of silence for Busch ahead of Carb Day on Friday. On Sunday, the course will light the pylon on lap 18 in honor of Busch. He’s a multi-time winner @IMS on Brickyard 400 weekend.
