RIP Rowdy 😞 Damn

The fact that RCR has decided to save the #8 for when Brexton enters NASCAR is a nice touch. A lot of folks will be supporting his future career.

Really hope Kurt is doing ok in all of this, and that his family and other good folks are supporting him and each other.

RIP Kyle Busch. It’s such a shock to have him pass away just days after winning yet another a race. The move by RCR to suspend use of the 8 is a good, respectful decision.

I expected nothing less from RCR, very respectful, and yeah we're all going to cry like babies if/when Brexton suits up in that car.

Only 41, man. Over the years, I mostly watched NASCAR for the highlights, and Kyle almost always managed to be in them. Usually for something reckless, but he stood out. RIP. 😞

Dang man, I haven't been this sad since Ken passed.

If you cant read this, apparently Kyle fell off a ladder at his home back in March that required 24 stitches. One possibility might be the injury became infected - but I'm not gonna speculate on any cause. just thought I would share this.

The cause of death has been released. It’s severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis.

Kyle Busch died after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, his family says

Suarez wins a rain shortened 600.

This is apparently the first time all 3 national series have failed to reach the full distance in the same weekend.

Very fitting that the winner is not only someone who drove for KBM (with a top 10 that also included two others as well), but also a team that operates out of what was the KBM shop. Must've been destiny.
