NASCAR announced Friday that there will be a public memorial<\/a> on Oct. 9 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. That day is a Friday \u2014 the same weekend that the speedway will host its second and final set of NASCAR races of the season. The memorial, according to the announcement, will take place following the Truck Series race that day.<\/p>\n

The celebration of life is free to attend, according to a release. There will be more information disclosed leading up to the event, including if the funeral will be televised or streamed.<\/p>\n

The speedway\u2019s address is 5555 Concord Parkway South, Concord, N.C.<\/p>\n

The list of those slated to speak was not disclosed in Friday\u2019s announcement. That said, it\u2019ll certainly be attended by a large contingent of the NASCAR community<\/a> as well as the family members who survived the 41-year-old superstar: his wife, Samantha; his son, Brexton; his daughter, Lennix; his brother and NASCAR Hall of Famer, Kurt; and his parents, Tom and Gaye.<\/p>\n

Close friends and family reportedly had a private funeral for Busch<\/a> in June.<\/p>\n

Busch\u2019s sudden death in May reverberated across the motorsports world and the country. The Richard Childress Racing driver of the No. 8 car was an icon of the sport<\/a>. He recorded 234 wins across all three NASCAR national series, the most in history, and won two Cup championships \u2014 in 2015 and 2019.<\/p>\n

Busch has 63 Cup wins to his name. That\u2019s 10th all-time; his longtime teammate and contemporary, Denny Hamlin, passed him on that total earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The NASCAR legend died in a Charlotte hospital on Thursday<\/a>, May 21, after his severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, which resulted in \u201crapid and overwhelming associated complications,\u201d according to a family statement<\/a> that was later corroborated by his death certificate. Busch\u2019s death certificate<\/a>, on file at the Mecklenburg Register of Deeds Office, also said that he had pneumonia for \u201cdays to weeks\u201d prior to his death \u2014 and that the sepsis led to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and later \u201chours\u201d of hemorrhagic shock.<\/p>\n

This will not be the first public appearance the family has made since the passing of Busch. Those closest to the \u201cAmerican badass\u201d<\/a> of a driver bravely stood in the infield of Charlotte Motor Speedway in the minutes before the beginning of the Coca-Cola 600 and wept as NASCAR CEO Steve O\u2019Donnell told the family and the sport and the nation<\/a> that Busch will be with the sport every day. Specifically to the family, O\u2019Donnell said: \u201cYou are NASCAR family forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

This event will also not be the first public funeral the NASCAR community has gathered for in 2026. In January, a crowd descended on Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte<\/a> to honor the lives of seven people who died in a plane crash in Statesville in December \u2014 among them included retired NASCAR driver and North Carolina humanitarian Greg Biffle<\/a>.<\/p>\n
