The auto racing community lost a hall of fame talent with the passing of Kyle Busch back in May. He left a wife and two kids behind, and over a dozen Idaho vacation photographs of them recently surfaced on social media.

Kyle Busch was one of the most decorated and respected drivers to have ever competed, having won more than 60 cup races in his professional career, according to NASCAR.com. He was preparing for a another race the day an ambulance was called to a training facility and the champion athlete was rushed to the hospital just prior to passing away from sepsis.

Busch died on May 21 at age 41.

Busch's wife, Samantha, shared photos from her Instagram this week from a recent holiday trip to the Gem State. The photos were shared by numerous sources including NASCAR Souls.

"This trip to Idaho gave us exactly what we needed," Samantha wrote in the social media post. "A chance to slow down, breathe, and be surrounded by amazing friends who wrapped their arms around us."

The exact location of the family photos is unknown, but it does show that the family has close ties to the Gem State. We hope Samantha and the kids had a great time hanging out in Idaho.
