Busch was the hot young driver at that time, and I found him in the garage one day in Charlotte Motor Speedway and asked him about his driving style.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegorelocationnews.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/22\/herd-is-the-word-elk-grove-baseball-thunders-to-record-12th-cif-section-banner\/\">Herd is the word: Elk Grove baseball thunders to record 12th CIF section banner<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m OK,\u201d Busch said. \u201cBut have you seen my brother yet?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>At that point, I hadn\u2019t. But within a few years, then 16-year-old Kyle Busch would join his older brother in NASCAR\u2019s top series, and you absolutely couldn\u2019t take your eyes off him. For 20-plus years, it was like that \u2014 Kyle Busch was supremely talented, a villainous hero who in later years became a doting husband and father.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Kyle Busch died Thursday, at age 41. Much like you, I couldn\u2019t have been more shocked. In the morning, it was announced that Busch was going to miss all of this weekend\u2019s big races at Charlotte Motor Speedway due to a severe illness that had forced him to be hospitalized \u2014 odd and a little scary, but understandable.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>By the evening, he was dead, felled by those unspecified health problems. There is a mystery to his death, and of course people want to know exactly what happened and are going to know at some point. How does a guy who won a race at Dover <i>just last weekend<\/i> pass away in, seemingly, the blink of an eye?<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>There have been high-profile, on- and off-track NASCAR deaths before, of course. If you go back far enough \u2014 before the cars, tracks and racing helmets all got safer \u2014 there have been a lot of them. But most of the time, you understand immediately what went wrong. Greg Biffle died in a plane crash in December. Dale Earnhardt Sr. died in a last-lap crash at the Daytona 500 in 2001.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>What happened to Kyle Busch isn\u2019t nearly as clear.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>But other than curiosity, does the cause of his death really matter much? What matters is that Kyle Busch is gone \u2014 husband to Samantha, father to Brexton and Lennix, \u201cRowdy\u201d to his millions of race fans. He leaves an unfathomable hole in his family, and in his sport.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The best comparison I can make for Busch is that when Rowdy was at his best, he was like Earnhardt Sr. They both could drive absolutely anything on four wheels while also driving their fellow competitors nuts (Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr., for one, had a heated rivalry before mending fences in later years).<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Like Earnhardt, Busch was a throwback who moved the needle. In a world of drivers mostly ruled by their corporate sponsors, Busch was an otherworldly talent who simply did not give a damn. Especially in his 20s, he\u2019d get in fights. He\u2019d get in wrecks. He\u2019d say dumb stuff.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>NASCAR had to modify its rules \u2014 <i>twice<\/i> \u2014 to account for his talent and his stamina. The guy was a racer in the purest form. Busch would sometimes win the Craftsman Trucks race on Friday, the O\u2019Reilly race on Saturday and then the Cup race on Sunday, leaving hardly any room for anybody else in the sport to breathe.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Busch won 234 times \u2014 234! \u2014 overall in NASCAR\u2019s top three series, and took home the Cup championship twice, in 2015 and 2019. He will be a NASCAR hall of famer immediately.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>During race introductions, Busch would routinely get booed by a lot of fans. He didn\u2019t care. Sometimes he egged it on. But in later years, he mellowed. Being a father tends to do to a man. When asked after his win in Dover last weekend what made it special, he replied: \u201cBecause you never know when the last one is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegorelocationnews.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/22\/reports-giants-dl-roy-robertson-harris-tears-achilles\/\">Reports: Giants DL Roy Robertson-Harris tears Achilles<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Happy Birthday @brextonbusch!!!
