This clip from Fox News. Mike Joy gets an interview and while fans criticise him for not being the modern F1-style blokes, he is more Scooter Rizzuto and understanding Kyle from that human side. His style allows him to understand a different angle than modernity.

Statement from Dongwon Group, a Korean food producer that began working with Kyle, Samantha, and Brexton in 2025. Dongwon’s marketing worked on Mrs. Busch and B-Rex.

동원그룹은 카일 부시 님의 별세 소식을 접하고 깊은 슬픔에 잠겨 있습니다.

이 힘든 시기에 사만다 님과 자녀분들, 부시 가족, 리처드 칠드레스 레이싱, 그리고 모터스포츠계 전체에 저희의 마음과 기도를 전합니다.

카일 님은 모터스포츠와 팬들, 그리고 레이싱 커뮤니티에 수세대에 걸쳐 깊은 울림을 남길 비범한 경쟁자였습니다.

그분 및 그분의 가족과 함께할 수 있었던 기회에 깊이 감사드리며, 고인을 알고 사랑했던 모든 분께 진심 어린 애도의 뜻을 표합니다.
