The NASCAR community came together to mourn the passing of Kyle Busch at the Coca-Cola 600, but an emotional tribute from an 11-year-old stole the show.
Owen Larson, the son of Kyle Larson, approached Brexton Busch and hugged him in a heartwarming exchange during pre-race tributes.
The gesture was met with widespread praise on social media, with fans calling it 'sweet and genuine'.
The tribute was part of a larger celebration of Busch's life, which included a moment of silence, a display of his No. 8 car, and a decal on all 39 cars in the field.
NASCAR also announced that it would be retiring Busch's No. 8 car until Brexton is old enough to take it over.
Busch's family, including his wife Samantha and children Brexton and Lennox, made a public appearance at Charlotte Motor Speedway, marking their first time in public since his sudden death.
