RIP Kyle Busch. Without a doubt, a top 5 driver all-time. He has struggled the last few years, but won a truck series race just last weekend. He was ill during the cup race. I wonder what he was sick from. Regardless, my favorite NASCAR driver is gone too soon!

Just shocking news, so hard to believe.

Besides his racing, he had a wife and 2 young kids. What a difficult day for them.

The news comes 11 days after Busch radioed into his crew near the end of a Cup Series race at Watkins Glen asking a doctor to give him a “shot” after he finished the race. According to the TV broadcast, Busch had been struggling with a sinus cold that was exacerbated by the intense G-forces and elevation changes at the New York road course.

Awful news.

Cause of death is being announced as pneumonia that led to sepsis.

Yeah, this is pretty crazy with all the stuff he's been doing over the last few weeks. As a guy who personally has had pneumonia 4 times, its crazy what he was able to do. It drains you!
