You beat to the punch; I was just about to post this.
NASCAR Legend Kyle Busch Dead At 41
I'm not a gearhead. I don't have the time to keep on top of everything, but I do realize he was one of the faces of NASCAR.
Sad news indeed.
Thanks for the post, Mac.

Shocking news.

He called for a doctor after the Watkins Glen race two weeks ago but still have not heard what that was for or what happened today.

Vale Kyle

I didn't see this coming. He was the best driver in Nascar for a stretch. RIP.

I just read this from Dave Portnoy (Barstool Sports)

I saw that he was ill. Sorry, Mike. I know you love your racing.

I met a guy who was friends w/ KURT Busch. My first comment was how different Kurt and Kyle were. He mentioned that the brothers are not tight.

From afar, I'll give a few basic comments:
1) When you are SO dis-liked by your competitors, at least some of it is jealousy. Kyle won way more than his fair-share.

2) NASCAR is a sport that really generates fan-favorites and rivalries. Think about all the Earnhardt loyalists. If Kyle was the guy fans were rooting AGAINST, then he's moving the needle.

RIP, my man.

I don't think Kyle was seriously disliked by competitors.

He was more of a crowd villain in WWE style. And he was past that these days.

Kyle was one of the biggest personalities in a sport filled with boring robots. You either loved him or you hated him. It's a damn shame his cup car wasnt competitive at RCR the last 3 years or so but in his time ar HMS and JGR he was one of the best of the last 20 years. He will be missed. Thanks for all the coin you won us over the years. RIP

He was the goat

Its still shocking to me. He was only racing last weekend.

He'd become rather low key in his later seasons.

I wonder if he took the jab(s)

I just saw this.... wow....... enjoy life, family ,friends..... you just never know what curveball may come.....
