Charlotte area has been covered by rain last night and this morning. Still a lot down around Greenville-Spartanburg.

Truck race moved from last night to this morning to now 9 tonight. Precipitation chances above 70 percent today and tomorrow. Haven't looked at the forecast for Monday.

Even if they get the races in, it's going to be a wet, gloomy weekend to go along with the somber emotions.

I don’t think anyone said that. But again this thread isn’t about bubba

I know the community just wants to get this NASCAR weekend over with, and it’s dragging on and on. Feel for everybody out there in Charlotte.

Listened to a Dr yesterday on XM. Sounds like he had a pulmonary embolism.

Sounds like he should have checked in a hospital long before it got so bad but I guess his work schedule and timing didn’t allow that.
Sad!
Proper treatment probably could have saved him but you wouldn’t expect someone that young to not be able to fight that off.

I wonder if any other early warning signs showed itself other than what we know happened at Watkins Glen.

What he had will kill you dead, quickly, if you're as young and strong as a horse. Only he knew what he was really feeling like and shared with doctors leading up to this, and he can't tell us anymore.

Hindsight for sure but once Kyle went over the radio saying he needed a shot from a doctor after a race NASCAR should have had a doctor clear him for the next race. It certainly felt like everyone kind of brushed his illness off, Kyle included and in hindsight nobody should have.

When you're that (relatively) young, you think you're immortal. Every now and then, God reminds us that isn't the case.

Right, and I feel that his family and those closest around him during the past two weeks will want to blame themselves for what happened.
