Tragic. At Dover he radioed for to get treated for something just prior to the end.

41 is too young to go.

This is so sad.
Kyle Busch's car control skills were downright amazing to watch. What a talent.
RIP

Incredibly sad. RIP

Winning a truck race and celebrating in victory lane with your daughter and then dead a week later is heart breaking. Godspeed, Kyle on your next journey.

Been trying to find out what happened to him. Anyone know? Bloodclot or something?

I read it was pneomonia in both lungs that led to bleeding and an infection. He passed out in a racing simulator and didn't regain conciousness (again from what I read).

Damn, that's rough. Thx for the info.

RIP...he will be desperately missed in a sport that's becoming devoid of personality.

RIP Kyle Busch.

RIP

Family announced that the infection and subsequent cause of death was sepsis.

As a lifelong NASCAR fan, this is a sudden, tragic turn of events. I'm 1 month younger than Kyle, which makes it hit home even harder and makes you refocus on things that matter. RIP KB.
