After Kyle Busch was injured in Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway, many of his fellow competitors took to Twitter to wish him a speedy recovery. 

Sunday morning, Busch's wife, Samantha, thanked the fans and drivers for all their comments and prayers on her personal Facebook page. 

"Kyle and I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone for your prayers and kind words during this difficult time," she wrote. "The response from all of you was so overwhelming and uplifting words cannot describe how much we appreciate it. Kyle just finished up some breakfast and is resting comfortably. Although his injuries are serious we thank God he is alive and that he is in the best spirits you can expect for a time like this. I love this man so much that even through all his injuries and pain the first thing he asked when he saw me was how our little boy was doing. He melts my heart at what an amazing father he will be! The staff also nicely checked little man's heartbeat last night to put us at ease and it was strong! Kyle and I would like to wish the entire 18 team much success today and thank Matt Crafton for stepping in. We also pray for safety for all the drivers out on the track and thank the entire NASCAR community for their outpouring of concern and support. I will keep you posted on his progress and we continue to ask for prayers for a speedy recovery."
