Kyle Busch passed away yesterday at age 41. A complete shock. He's my favorite driver in in the sport today. I've been a fan of his since early on in his career. The sport has lost one of the greats and lost someone who meant a lot to others including fellow drivers, fans, and all those associated with the sport which is evident by the outpouring of thoughts and emotions we've already seen. Just nothing you can say when someone passes this early in life. I pray for his young family.
As a driver he was a 2X NASCAR Cup Champion in 2015 and 2019. He won 63 Cup races, which puts him 9th all-time. He won a combined 234 Cup, O'Reilly Auto Parts and Truck Series races which was best in the sport all-time. He was in the twilight of his career and had been, and still was cantankerous but that was part of his "charm". Just a great competitor. In my mind I'll always see him in an M&M's racing suit or car.
RIP Kyle
