Overview
- Richard Childress Racing revealed a new paint scheme on Monday that places Kyle Busch’s bow celebration on the hood of Austin Hill’s No. 33 Chevrolet and adds Busch’s autograph and Bundle of Joy branding for the Richmond race.
- Kyle Busch died in May 2026 after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, and the bow gesture became one of the most recognizable parts of his public persona.
- Austin Hill has been driving the No. 33 since he succeeded Busch, and RCR will run the tribute livery at Richmond Raceway this weekend as part of its season-long remembrances.
- The team deliberately chose a simple, symbolic look rather than an elaborate memorial, and the unveiling drew strong emotional reactions from fans on social media.
- The tribute links on-track remembrance to the Busches’ charity work by raising the profile of the Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund while recalling Busch’s long success at Richmond.
