NASCAR CEO Reveals Kyle Busch’s Final Text Message Before His Tragic Death
Six days after winning his last NASCAR race, Kyle Busch sadly passed away on Thursday, May 21. The driver, 41, was found unresponsive at a driving simulator.
After being taken to the hospital, Busch’s condition worsened and he died. Many fans and colleagues lamented the loss, paying homage to Busch.
NASCAR won’t postpone this weekend’s race, as CEO Steven O’Donnell said Busch would have hated to see them not compete. His passion for the competition and the sport in general was huge.
Kyle Busch’s Final Text To NASCAR CEO Sums Up How Much He Loved The Competition
During a news conference on Friday, O’Donnell touched on multiple Bosch-related topics. He also revealed the final text message he received from the driver.
“What I look back on is a text from Kyle Tuesday, as only Kyle could do — and I keep looking at it — and he said, ‘Hey, man, what do you think about an over-40 rule to be able to compete in all the Truck Series races next year?’
“I said, you know, we put that rule in place because you were winning so much, but when we looked about it and had a meeting Wednesday internally, we thought, ‘Damn, that’s actually good. We need Kyle in the Truck Series.’ It was twofold. He knew he could help the series, but I think, one day, he had a dream to race against his son in a national series event.
“That was Kyle, always thinking about the sport and going forward.”
After 762 race starts, 63 wins and two championships, Busch was Hall of Fame-bound. He still had so much to offer before tragedy struck.
