NASCAR Discussion - Sperg out about four left turns here

[Green Man]

A.P posted a bit more info in their article on Busch, according to them and their sources, Kyle went unresponsive in the Chevrolet Racing Simulator in Concord on Wednesday, and was rushed to the hospital.

So he was hospitalized sometime on Wednesday, news just got out earlier today [now yesterday] that he was hospitalized, then about 7-8 hours his death is reported? I'm thinking he was probably on a vent for a while, while the family made the decision whether or not to pull it, whatever happened in the sim probably caused a lack of bloodflow to the brain and immediately started causing brain damage, then by earlier today [Thursday] it was testing to determine brain activity or if there was any shot at recovery, which there wasn't. Pulmonary embolism could be right, given the cough he'd been having. Double pneumonia can be a real fucker, even for someone who's pretty young yet, and with "walking pneumonia" you don't even feel all that shitty until one day it's right on top of you and has you by the throat. Untreated it can go septic, that's what happened to that YouTube guy Brandon Buckingham, he felt kinda sick for like a couple days and about twelve hours later, he woke up in the ICU and was being told that all of his organs were shutting down, he barely pulled through somehow. He isn't very old at all either, probably 20s if I had to guess?

I never went to a Cup race but I did go to a few truck races and was always rooting for Kyle, I probably still have some merch from back then when he was still driving the #5 somewhere around here. Shit fucking sucks, especially because he had young kids. I thought I'd heard something about Kyle Busch and 'dead' earlier on the radio but I thought "nah, fucking can't be, dude's like 40" and sure enough, got home from work and heard the news. Wild shit.

I'm a newfag who got a bit into Nascar through the Emplemon videos, but I can't imagine what it had to be like being a Nascar fan in 1993 watching 2 drivers who were in the absolute prime of their careers with Alan Kulwicki who was the reigning cup champion after an underdog upset victory and Davey Allison who was setting up to be one of the top drivers in Nascar both die in aerial accidents right before they were set to race in their best tracks.

Allison's death was particularly stupid because he would have lived if he hadn't removed the damn should straps from his harness and only left the lap belt. Incredibly dumb move.

I've seen some say it sounded like untreated pneumonia but I'm not knowledgeable to agree or disagree with that.

Cross posting from the news thread, TMZ released the 911 call that lead to Busch being taken to the hospital. Busch was having a hard time breathing, was coughing up blood, and overheating.
