Kurt went on to reminisce about their shared passion for racing, tracing their journey from their earliest days behind the wheel. "Finding a silver lining, I reflect back on the days Kyle and I raced anything we could get our hands on. From big wheels to competing on the biggest stages in motorsports, we were more than just fierce competitors. We pushed each other, challenged each other, and learned from each other," he shared.

He highlighted the qualities that defined his brother's character. "Kyle, your passion, determination, and love for your family inspired everyone who knew you. No trophy, championship, or accomplishment could ever measure the impact you had on my life and on so many others," Kurt wrote.

Concluding his tribute, Kurt reflected on their bond and the lasting impression Kyle left. "I will forever be grateful for the memories we made, the lessons you taught me, and the brotherhood we shared. My heart is broken, but I know your spirit will always ride with me. Rest easy, little brother," he said.
