Kyle Busch's Attorney Slams “False Narratives” About Family's Financials After NASCAR Driver's Death

Kyle Busch‘s attorney is setting the record straight. 

Two days after the NASCAR driver’s sudden death at 41, leaving behind his wife Samantha Busch and kids Brexton, 11, and Lennix, 4, lawyer Robert Rikard addressed “a false narrative” that Kyle died left without proper life insurance coverage.  

“It needs to be stopped, and those publishing false statements are on notice to correct them,” his attorney wrote on LinkedIn May 23. “Two policies had no value prior to litigation and were terminated. The remaining policies were handled responsibly.”

He shared that the racecar driver’s family has been receiving guidance from a professional.

“The Busch family retained an independent insurance specialist,” Rikard explained, “who evaluated the entire portfolio and recommended a structured transition to replacement coverage that provides a substantial lifetime death benefit.”

“The Busch family did not walk away from their coverage,” he emphasized. “They replaced it with better coverage. The suggestion that they were advised by anyone to abandon tens of millions in death benefit protection is a fabrication, and those repeating it know it is.”
