Kyle Busch's wife has released a statement on the NASCAR legend's tragic death, saying that the love his fans have sent to their family has gotten them through the worst days of their lives.

What they're saying: "As a family, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you," his wife Samantha said on social media Friday.

"The prayers, messages, flowers, meals, hugs, and countless acts of kindness have carried us through the most heartbreaking days of our lives. While our hearts are absolutely shattered, we have felt God's presence and arms wrapped tightly around us through each and every one of you." She added, "The love that has surrounded our family during this unimaginable time has brought comfort in the middle of so much pain. Knowing the impact Kyle had on others and seeing how they are honoring him through each unique act of generosity is a true testament to how special Kyle is to so many people. There are moments when the weight of this loss feels impossible to carry, yet time and time again God, through you all, has shown us we are not alone." The two-time NASCAR champ died last month after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis.
