Kyle Busch hospitalized due to illness, to miss Coca-Cola 600

NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Busch will not compete in Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway after being hospitalized as the result of a severe illness.

www.espn.com

Also from this article:

“During a Cup Series race on May 10 at Watkins Glen, Busch radioed in to his crew requesting medical aid from Dr. Bill Heisel and a "shot" after the race. According to the TV broadcast, Busch had been struggling with a sinus cold that was exacerbated by the intense G-forces and elevation changes at the Upstate New York road course.”

This incident could be unrelated to his passing, of course.

Very sad news.

Just guessing, but viral meningitis or encephalitis could be possible.

Very sad news.

A severe bacterial sinus infection could gain access to the brain due to proximity. A brain abscess can then develop and that can be fatal. A subdural empyema also is another possibility that can develop from a severe sinus infection.

Just terrible--so young and had two young kids (I think one under 5)
The cause doesn't really matter but it will be interesting to see what happened that suddenly.

Wow. Scary that a healthy 41 year old went that quickly. Very curious what it was….RIP
