I can't believe this news about Kyle Busch. Puts life in another perspective after hearing about his passing. What a wheelman and one of the best to ever do it. May he rest in peace and may prayers for his family right now and the days to come. Praying 
Sounds like an unknown illness at this point.

Yes, and that's scary. It could happen to any of us.

@YetAnotherRDUGuy welp, rust wins out tonight at Lenovo 
Canes once again coming out sluggish in the ECF...hopefully we can settle in, but the track record under Rod has not been good when we lose game 1 at home.
No joke. Montreal came out on fire. They got time left but not looking great so far.@YetAnotherRDUGuy welp, rust wins out tonight at Lenovo

I was wondering if he had pre existing conditions from racing that made it worse
Horrible news though I haven't even watched NASCAR in years and he's one of those names you remember. We were living near Talladega when Earnhardt died so for awhile yeah everyone I knew was going crazy over NASCAR
I read somewhere Kyle had an anusrym but that's just hearsay. Did read an article this morning said he was testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord when he became unresponsive and was transported to hospital. So anusrym sure seems possible cause. Tragic for sure
I read this morning where Kyle was complaining of sinus problems during his last race at Watkins Glen towards the end of the race and requested some kind of shot from his doctor when he finished the race over the car radio. I don't know what this means as far as what happened to him other than the fact that some kind of respiratory infection could be a possibility.

I'm thinking it might have either been long covid or pneumonia if it was respiratory sinus
That was what I heard at first anyway

I read that he was coughing up “some blood”. Whereas when it isn’t much it is pretty common (many times due to irritation from coughing) and usually not a sign of anything serious, it can be a sign of pneumonia or even a pulmonary clot. It seems that with him also being very hot and short of breath that perhaps pneumonia is the highest possibility since it appears he had had an infection that started in his sinuses.
Usually though pneumonia is very treatable in an otherwise healthy young person. But if he had pneumonia, a lack of rest and proper treatment could have made it worse. Included in this is his being in a simulator.
