A severe cold is being mentioned as a contributing factor, although the official cause of death has not been listed.

I have mixed feelings about this one, on one hand it's tragic when anybody dies young(Busch was only about 4 months older than me), Busch however was noted as being one of the biggest jerks out there with the way he treated other drivers, his crew members, and the fans. I'll leave it at that so as not to flame on the guy any further at this time, I'm sure his family as well as NASCAR is devastated over this.

He was a serious racer, he wasn't concerned with winning any popularity contests. He was focused on winning and didn't tolerate anyone or anything that wasn't.

It is a scary story to me that an apparently healthy 41 yr. old can get sick and die in a few days. He won a truck race last weekend and appeared fine in post race interviews. I wonder if the cause of death will ever be released?

NY Post is reporting his family found him unconscious in a racing simulator (at home I'm assuming) and he was rushed to the hospital where he later passed. Sad stuff

Kyle embraced the villain/heel role. Undoubtedly one of a small number of drivers who could be considered the most talented to ever do it. As Darrell Waltrip said a few years ago, Kyle Busch was the only guy who could get three-wide all by himself.

Fom reading Earnhardt Jr's statement about Busch it sounds like they weren't close until recently when they became friends after putting their differences aside.

Its better to be silent and thought of a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
