Tony Stewart Honors Kyle Busch During NHRA Potomac Nationals

This weekend, NHRA has traveled to Maryland International Raceway for the Potomac Nationals. Tony Stewart is ready to race his R&L Carriers Top Fuel Dragster to victory again this season.

However, before hitting the track, Tony Stewart made sure to put the finishing touches on his car. He stuck a No. 8 Kyle Busch decal to it, just behind his own signature on the dragster.

Stewart posted a video to social media of him applying the decal. The two small knocks at the end are almost enough to make you tear up.

Many of the NHRA teams at the Potomac Nationals are sporting No. 8 decals and other honorifics in memory of Kyle Busch. Another example of how Busch's impact went far beyond NASCAR and stock car racing.
