(AP) \u2014 NASCAR driver Kyle Busch died Thursday at 41, three days before he was set to run the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1113\">\u2018It\u2019s really heartbreaking\u2019: NASCAR fans mourn loss of racing legend Kyle Busch<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is what to know:<\/p>\n<h3>How did Kyle Busch die?<\/h3>\n<p>At this point, the cause of death has not been released and details remain limited.<\/p>\n<p>What is known is that Busch was testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord on Wednesday when he became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte, several people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details have not been disclosed by Busch\u2019s team or family.<\/p>\n<h3>Had Kyle Busch been ill?<\/h3>\n<p>Busch was thought to have had a sinus cold While racing May 10 at Watkins Glen, Busch radioed his team requesting a \u201cshot\u201d from a doctor after he finished. Per the TV broadcast, Busch had been struggling with a sinus cold that was exacerbated by the intense G-forces and elevation changes at the New York road course.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear if that issue had something to do with his death.<\/p>\n<p>Busch did race last weekend and won the Trucks Series race at Dover and finished 17th in the NASCAR All-Star race. That would be his final race.<\/p>\n<h3>How good was Kyle Busch?<\/h3>\n<p>Busch won 234 races across NASCAR\u2019s three national series \u2014 more than any driver in history. He won Cup season championships in 2015 and 2019 for Joe Gibbs Racing.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1111\">\u2018Once in a generation\u2019: 2-time NASCAR champion Kyle Busch dies at 41<\/a><\/p>\n<p>His first championship was particularly impressive. Busch missed the first 11 Cup races of the 2015 season after injuring his foot following a crash in the O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts series opener in Daytona, but came back to win five races to qualify for the playoffs before capturing the title at Homestead. <\/p>\n<h3>Will the Coca-Cola 600 be postponed or canceled?<\/h3>\n<p>No. NASCAR officials confirmed that the 400-lap race will continue on as planned Sunday night at the 1 1\/2-mile track at Charlotte Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, RCR had announced that Austin Hill would replace Busch in the No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. <\/p>\n<h3>Does CMS plan to honor Kyle Busch?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, CMS officials said they plan to honor Busch \u201cin some way\u201d this weekend at the Coca-Cola 600, but details were still being ironed out.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP freelance writer and former AP auto racing writer Jenna Fryer in Indianapolis contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1106\">Video: Black bear seen roaming northeast Charlotte neighborhood<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP auto racing: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/auto-racing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CONCORD, N.C.
