Shocking news, wonder what the illness was as he was no age?

Shocking news to wake up to. He was apparently taken ill Wednesday morning at the track, and was gone by the evening. No age at all, leaves a wife and two young children. RIP.

That is in an incredibly quick illness, maybe a brain tumour or haemorrhage or heart issues, bloody awful.

Never liked either of them, both nasty pieces of work the Busch brothers, but Kyle especially had a love for racing that was infectious and his boy was showing huge promise, I feel so bad for him, his close family, 41 is no age, but at least they should be happy knowing he achieved a lot and has a legacy most of us never will, and a secure future.

'Severe illness'? What could that be? I can't think of one

probably and aneurysm or aortic dissection

Very shocking and sad news. RIP.

It was a pulmonary embolism

Very sad. He was always good to watch.

Shocked at this. There was a time a few years ago where he was wining so much. Not just in the Gibbs M&M 18 in Cup but also in Trucks and Nationwide/Xfinity. I seem to remember he won all 3 races in a weekend on a few occasions.

Very sad news at such a young age, only recently interested in NASCAR & another great loss to the sport, RIP.

The news of it being a PE is pretty humbling, having very very luckily survived one myself.

The official cause of death hasn’t been released, but he was complaining of sinus difficulties, and a worsening cough in the days before his collapse and death.
