It still feels strange to say the words, \u2018the late Kyle Busch\u2019. Just a week ago, he was hale and hearty, fresh off a Truck Series win at Dover and preparing for the Coca-Cola 600. Then suddenly, we hear that he has passed away due to complications with pneumonia, which worsened into sepsis. Now, all that we are left with are memories of the 2-time champion and winningest driver in NASCAR history. After the Coca-Cola 600, race winner Daniel Suarez<\/strong> shared some memories of Busch.<\/p>\n

Daniel Suarez reveals how much Kyle Busch meant to him<\/h2>\n

As it turns out, Suarez and Busch have a special connection. The Mexican driver was one of many current stars who drove for Busch in his Truck Series team, Kyle Busch Motorsports, back in the day. The list also includes Erik Jones, Christopher Bell, John Hunter Nemechek, William Byron, and Denny Hamlin. There were also others like Harrison Burton, Noah Gragson, Riley Herbst, Todd Gilliland, the late Greg Biffle, and even Kimi Raikkonen.<\/p>\n

Suarez said in the press conference<\/a>, \u201cWhere I came from in Mexico, we were very family-oriented people. My mom, my sister are back there. This is the only race where I actually have my family with me. One of the reasons why this is my favorite weekends of the year, because I always get to have my family for the week. Kyle, he wasn\u2019t my family. But he was someone that gave me a hand when I needed it most. And it wasn\u2019t just a hand. It was a hand of a legend, it was a hand of somebody with so much experience. So for that, I will be forever grateful. Forever grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, it is no secret that in his prime, Kyle Busch ruffled a lot of feathers and had many rivalries. However, it is safe to say that Daniel Suarez wasn\u2019t one of them and always got along well with him. What\u2019s interesting is that the Mexican driver once bailed Busch out of a tight spot with the law in Cancun.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne time he got in trouble in Cancun, he called me, Samantha called me,\u201d Suarez recalled. \u201cI mean, some of you guys know what happened there. And then after the race in Mexico City, we partied together, he came to my party.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident in question is likely the one from February 2023, where Busch was arrested and detained at the Cancun Airport in Mexico after a handgun was found in his bag. He was returning from vacation with his wife, Samantha. He was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison with an $1,100 fine.<\/p>\n

After the situation was resolved, Busch released a statement that read, \u201cIn late January, Samantha and I enjoyed a several day vacation in Mexico. When departing the country, my handgun was flagged during routine screening at the airport. I have a valid concealed carry permit from my local authority and adhere to all handgun laws, but I made a mistake by forgetting it was in my bag\u2026 When it was discovered, I fully cooperated with the authorities, accepted the penalties, and returned to North Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n
