Kyle Busch, NASCAR great and 2-time Cup Series champion, dies at 41 after illness


41, damn. And a quick and sudden illness, just awful.

RIP Kyle.
 

Geez...I literally just read that he was out of this weekend's race due to an "illness".
 




Wonder if it was a pulmonary embolism.
 


NASCAR driver Kyle Busch died from severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis, according to a statement provided by the Busch family Saturday.

"The medical evaluation provided to the Busch Family concluded that severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications," the Busch family statement read.

I just go out of the hospital Tuesday, after a week with pneumonia and have had it multiple times previously due to being immunocompromised - I had sepsis one time and wouldn’t had made it until the next morning if I didn’t go in that evening.

Pneumonia is nothing to power through, especially as we age and are immune systems become less robust. Please get checked if you need to.

They should have diagnosed the pneumonia last week and gotten that under control b4 it turned to sepsis. Sure Busch was being a tough guy, like many of us are, and tried to push through. Totally preventable. I blame his doctor and NASCAR medical people for not diagnosing it. Pneumonia is nothing to mess with.
 



I recently had pneumonia and it is awful. Not sure how his doctors missed that. RIP Kyle
