I was saddened to hear the news of Kyle Busch’s passing on Thursday.π It was shocking to me because he had just won the Craftsman Truck Series race and celebrated his son’s birthday and then he was gone. After that race, he said “You never know when the last one is” during an interview. I thought those were some chilling words after knowing what we do now. At Watkins Glen he was saying he thought he had a sinus cold. It was severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis. This reminds me of when my mom had terminal cancer and ended up with pneumonia that progressed into sepsis. I think that is what killed her before the cancer. It’s been a very emotional time because I think this had brought out other grief I’ve already been experiencing for awhile. I watched the Coca-Cola 600 last night and seeing his family there was honestly hard to watch. π’ I thought the tribute Prime did was done very well though. It was a good race but was ended early because of the rain. Daniel Suarez won and I liked his tribute to Kyle Busch.
I’m having trouble finding the words to fully express my feelings on this, so my apologies for the short post. My condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed. ποΈ
