Thinking of Kyle Busch and his family during this difficult time. Sending our deepest condolences, prayers, and strength to everyone affected. 🏁🙏
BREAKING: NASCAR legend Kyle Busch has died at the age of 41 following a sudden, severe illness that hospitalized him earlier today.
A two-time Cup Series champion (2015, 2019) and the winningest driver in NASCAR history across all three national series with 234 victories, Busch was expected to compete at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend before his family announced he would not race due to illness.
No cause of death has been released.
“NASCAR lost a giant of the sport today, far too soon,” the racing series said in a statement expressing condolences to his wife Samantha, children Brexton and Lennix, brother Kurt, and the entire Richard Childress Racing family.
Rest in peace, Rowdy. 41 years old.
