Kyle Busch has poured his emotions onto paper to bid farewell to his brother Kurt, who recently announced his retirement from the racing world.

As Kurt Busch moves on to the next phrase of his life, his younger sibling Kyle Busch took a moment to express his pride in Kurt's achievements.

Kyle Busch conveyed his admiration for Kurt through a heartfelt tweet.

"Congratulations @kurtbusch. Proud to have had a front-row seat for your career from the very beginning, working on your cars, racing against you, watching you become a NASCAR Champion, and appreciating all your accomplishments. I will miss you out there every Sunday!"

The two brothers hold the record for the most wins by a sibling duo in NASCAR history. Kurt's NASCAR career has undeniably secured him a place in the Hall of Fame, with Kyle Busch following closely behind.

Kurt Busch devoted over a year to making a racing comeback in NASCAR's premier series. But it is now evident that his racing journey can't continue, and even if he were to return, competing in the Cup Series is no longer feasible.

From clinching the 2004 Cup Series championship to securing victories like the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte and the 2017 Daytona 500, Kurt Busch's accomplishments are extensive. He triumphed with four different automobile manufacturers, a testament to his versatility and skill.

During his farewell press conference at Daytona, Kurt Busch expressed his desire to join the ranks of the '30-30 Club'. While typically associated with baseball, Kurt's interpretation focused on wins and poles rather than home runs and stolen bases.

Kurt Busch's career ended with an impressive tally of 34 wins and 28 pole awards. Despite his career being cut short, his achievements far surpassed the expectations of most.
