Not F1, but racing related.

Kyle Busch, two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, dies at age 41


Kyle Busch, a generational talent who rose to become a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and one of the sport’s greatest drivers, died Thursday. He was 41.

Busch’s death, which was announced by the Busch family, NASCAR and Richard Childress Racing, marked a sudden, staggering blow to the motorsports community. His team had indicated earlier Thursday that Busch had been hospitalized with a severe illness.

Busch was in his 22nd full-time season in NASCAR’s top division, where he won two Cup Series titles (2015, 2019) and 63 races — a figure that ranks ninth on the circuit’s all-time win list. His numbers across the other two national NASCAR series are record-setting, with 102 victories in what is now called the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and 69 wins in the Craftsman Truck Series.

He won his last race - a truck series race - last weekend and these were his words - "You never know when the last one is"


His two-titles don't do him justice. One of the all-time NASCAR greats. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea from a personality perspective, but he added a lot of character to NASCAR.
 
This year's Indy 500 will also be the first time in 70 years that there won't be an Unser, Andretti or Foyt on the grid.

RED FLAG
🔴
Alex Albon has had a crash in his Williams
 
Thought Ferrari had some pace but sheesh those Mercs are quick. Boring grid - hopefully an exciting first lap.
