It was an emotional scene in Concord, North Carolina on Friday night as the family, friends and fans of the late Kyle Busch paid tribute to the NASCAR driver who died earlier this year at the age of 41.
The night was finished by his 11-year-old son, Brexton Busch, who got into his father's No. 8 car, driving a backwards lap around Charlotte Motor Speedway before performing a burnout. Then? He got out of the car, got on the roof with a checkered flag and took a bow, performing his father's trademark victory celebration.
How perfect is that? Watch the whole thing:
