Larson praises son Owen“You know, when Owen walked over there to put his arm around Brexton, that made me obviously very, very proud of him. And to see the emotion on Owen's face when he came back over was also a proud moment because you don't know how an 11-year-old is going to kind of grasp the situation and understand what has happened and the pain that they're going through,” Larson said while giving an interview to Entertainment Tonight.
NASCAR CEO Steve O’Donnell also addressed the Busch family during the ceremony.
