Kyle Larson continues touching tradition in support of Kyle and Samantha Busch

Kyle Larson’s motto is “always racing.” And Thursday night was no different. Larson was at Eldora Speedway in Ohio, as the High Limit Interstate Batteries Sprint Cars took center stage for the Joker’s Jackpot. When the dirt settled at the historic track, Larson won his sixth High Limit race of 2026 by coming from third to pass Corey Day and ultimately Rico Abreu for the victory. In the process, Larson collected the $100,000 prize for the win. Larson continues to donate his winnings to Kyle and Samantha Busch’s foundation Larson, as a part of High Limit’s angel donor fund, is donating his winnings once again to Kyle and Samantha Busch’s Bundle of Joy Fund. “This year, I’ve been donating it to Kyle and Samantha Busch’s Bundle of Joy Fund,” said Larson. “We’ll do that again tonight. “It’s always great to win and help out there.” At that point, Larson turned to the crowd and called on them to join him in donating to the Busches foundation. “I encourage everyone in the stands and everybody watching at home to go and do the same. Kyle Busch meant a lot to this industry, whether it was dirt racing, asphalt racing, off-road racing, whatever you want to call it. “It’s good to support what they’ve built. And I look forward to seeing Sam(antha Busch) this weekend.” Tough-fought win Thursday night’s win was no easy feat. Larson trailed for much of the race until a late caution for Corey Day, who was running second at the time, opened the door for Larson to really pressure Rico Abreu. At that point, Larson, aka Yung Money, took over and cruised to a semi-comfortable win on the historic dirt track. “Yeah, it’s just sketchy, man. It’s so hard to build your confidence, and you know the fastest way around here is up against the fence, just trying to run as hard as I can. Just trying to stay patient early. My car just wouldn’t launch on the starts, and we just got swallowed up there. “But, my car was coming to me, so I just tried to stay patient and let the race come to me. My car felt good in traffic. It was tough battling Corey (Day), but once getting by Rico (Abreu), it would be really tough. “Fun race though. Yesterday, it was, ‘How do we get around here without crashing?’ Had a good night tonight, just let it all hang out.” About The Bundle of Joy Fund The Bundle of Joy Fund was founded by Samantha Busch and Kyle Busch as a way to give back after finding support for having a child through IVF. The fund makes it possible for others to go through IVF in the hopes of conceiving a child. Notes the fund’s site: “Founded in 2015 by author, podcast host, and passionate IVF advocate Samantha Busch and her husband, 2x NASCAR Cup Champion Kyle Busch, The Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund was inspired by their own journey with infertility and the miracle of their son, Brexton. They know firsthand the emotional, physical, and financial challenges that come with trying to build a family, and they created The Bundle of Joy Fund to ensure other families have the chance to experience the same life-changing joy of parenthood.” According to the fund’s website, it has awarded more than 150 grants valued at more than $2 million. The fund has helped bring over 100 new babies into the world. Kyle Busch, tragically, died at 41 years old on May 21 after a battle with pneumonia led to sepsis and further complications.
