R.I.P. Steve Waid.
Steve was more than a kind figure in the NASCAR garage; he was a stalwart of his craft. His NASCAR writings shaped my love for the sport at a young age.
Years later, in 2022, I had the opportunity to do a four-part series with Steve, discussing the 1986 NASCAR Cup Series season.

It is finished.
@stevewaid, one of the most most accomplished print journalists to ever step foot in a NASCAR media, died this afternoon after a long fight with the after effects of cancer.
He was 77.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to @VictoryJunction or @LeavineCancer.

Kyle Busch won a NASCAR race on 169 different days of the calendar year.
Impressively, he won at least one race on every single day from July 22nd through August 1st, 11 consecutive days on the calendar covered across his career.

Heck of an idea for a video: who won on the most days in NASCAR. That would require some insane data entry though.

Richard Childress Racing has elected to suspend use of the No. 8 and will run the No. 33 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and beyond. Kyle Busch was instrumental in the design of RCR’s stylized No. 8 and it has become synonymous with Kyle and an important symbol for his fans and the NASCAR industry. No one can carry it forward to the level that he did. The No. 8 is reserved and ready for Brexton Busch when he is ready to go NASCAR racing.

What makes the passing of Kyle Busch even more tragic, 20 years ago his biggest rival back home in Vegas, Spencer Clark, passed away while returning from Charlotte. 😭💔
