Kurt Busch hasn’t had the start to 2025 that he had hoped for after being forced to come to terms with a close friend’s tragic passing.

Kurt Busch pays tribute to his deceased friend
Beloved Australian snowboarder Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath has passed away. The Australian star tragically lost his life at the age of 38, and while the reason for his passing is currently unknown, the snowboarding world, along with the rest of his friends and family, has been rocked by the loss. The Monster Energy athlete first started competing at the tender age of nine and was soon recognized for his talent, going on to represent Team Australia at various events worldwide
.Luke Trembath’s friendship with Kurt Busch originated from Monster Energy’s ‘UNLEASHED’ podcast, where the duo discussed motorsports, snowboarding, and their love for wild adventures. Mourning the loss of his passing, the former 23XI Racing driver wrote on X, “Rest in peace my friend Luke. Your smile and energy will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to your family. I will race in Australia with your Aussie Dingo spirit sitting shotgun.” The 46-year-old’s heartfelt words reflect Busch’s friendship and admiration for the Aussie athlete.
What better way to honour the memory of his friend than securing a triumph in the land down under? Kurt Busch is all set to return to the Race of Champions (ROC) for the first time since 2017 when it was held in Miami. Driving alongside his brother Kyle Busch at that time, the racer finished runner-up. This time around, he will be partnering with motorsports legend Travis Pastrana to represent Team USA from March 7th to 8th, 2025.
Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath’s passing will undoubtedly affect many lives. His larger-than-life persona, along with his infectious personality, made him an endearing figure within the snowboarding community, inspiring several others to follow in his footsteps. Busch isn’t the only athlete to express his condolences, as five times X-Games medalist Jaie Toohey said, “One of the most incredible person I’ve ever met with the biggest heart. We shared some pretty amazing memories together throughout all the years we have known each other, and those I will hold onto forever.”
