The sports world was hit with some truly devastating news this past week, as it was announced that celebrated racecar driver Kyle Busch died at the age of 41. Busch died on Thursday and, as of right now, his formal cause of death has not been given. Since news of Busch’s passing was confirmed, fellow racers as well as various fans have been honoring his memory. Also joining that chorus of tributes was Top Chef, which hosted Busch for one episode during its most recent season.
Busch appeared as a guest judge in Top Chef’s Season 23 premiere, which was filmed not in a kitchen but at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Joining Busch as a guest judge was fellow NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson, and the two critiqued contestants’ fresh dishes. Following Busch’s death, the Bravo show’s official Instagram account shared a photo of him and Johnson from the episode along with a sweet caption. Check it out:
