I don’t follow NASCAR. Is this the Busch that nobody liked or the other one?

He’s the one that was disliked, though that had changed in the last few years. His older brother is Kurt.

Some stuff on Twitter about maybe a blood clot. Who knows. So sad.

It's kinda weird. Kyle says that and less than a week later he's gone

When Fox talked to Earnhardt on pit row just before the 2001 500 he said "I think it's going to be some exciting racing, and you're probably gonna see something you ain't never seen on FOX."

I know, all coincidental, but still very chilling.

AP is reporting that Busch became unresponsive while in the racing simulator that Chevrolet has in Concord, NC, on Wednesday and was transported to the hospital.

There’s also some EMT radio traffic that’s being circulated on Twitter that the call was for someone at that site who was having difficulty breathing.

Trivia: Earnhardt Sr. flipped him off during his last race.

Shocking and tragic. RIP

One of the great racing drivers of his generation and one of the most unique personalities in all of motorsports.

It won’t happen - but the NASCAR HOF should pivot and put Busch and Biffle in this year. I get Biffle didn’t get voted in, but Busch should be in immediately given his death. If anyone has earned it, it’s him.

He’ll be a first ballot HOFer easily. It’s probably too late this year, but they have to next year.

Man this sucks. Hated him that night he dumped Dale Jr in Richmond and wasn’t a fan for a really long time. I did come to really appreciate him for the insane amount of talent he possessed.

Hard to imagine what his family is going through right now.

Get your house in order guys and love your family. There’s a lot of us on here in the same age range as Kyle. Tough reminder that it can happen in the blink of an eye.

Bubba Wallace posted a heartfelt tribute on Facebook. (Before anyone starts any s**t, Bubba drove Kyle’s truck for two seasons and won a bunch of races, and they were very close.)


My eyes hurt from all the crying, my heart hurts from the pain. Just Sunday, mid race I thought about Kyle Busch and the one of many lessons that he had taught me. “Is it loose? Drive thru it and trust it”

Kyle was a monumental factor in who Bubba Wallace is today. I sit here and look at all things around me and all the things I’ve been able to accomplish..Kyle played a role in every aspect. That’s what hurts the most. An icon and a legend that I looked up to…is no longer with us.

Myself along with many other drivers, crew chiefs, mechanics, etc… learned so much from Kyle. His legacy will continue to transcend in this sport for years to come.

Honored to have shared the same race track with one of the best to ever do it. Thank you for all you’ve done for me. I will miss my drafting buddy on the plate races. Rest easy my brother. Love to you and your family!
