Unreal. He went to the hospital with an unknown severe illness earlier today. Wow

The most dominant driver of the last twenty years across all three series.
This is shocking, tbh

He was great. Always was a fan of his. I first remember him driving the 5 car for Hendrick in 2004.

I couldn’t stand him when he was with Toyota. I wanted him to do well with RCR though.
Crazy to think RCR has lost Earnhardt and Busch - two of the most dominant drivers of the modern era.

Yeah it was announced earlier he wouldn’t be racing this weekend. Again never expected this news. I’m in shock

Wtf, he’s become my favorite driver the last few years. RIP.

41? Unknown illness? WTF?

Damn
You feel this one for some reason. Do we know what happened?

Kyle has two young kids, including a son who has started his racing career.

Whoa, never expected to hear that. I figured he had gone into the hospital with something like severe flu symptoms or the like. I figured it was something that would take him out of the seat for a couple of weeks but he would back. RIP Kyle Busch.
