We don't know why he died or how. 
>> There are still questions about how he died, Tom. 
There were also warning signs from earlier today, I should note. 
Hours earlier, Kyle's family posting on his social media, he had been hospitalized with a severe illness and was currently undergoing treatment. 
They did not, Tom, specify for what. 
Now, Busch was pulled from a race in Charlotte this weekend. 
Now, NASCAR confirming tonight that the 41-year-old has passed away. 
He is one of the most decorated drivers in NASCAR's history, having won 234 races across NASCAR's three national series. 
He won Cup Series titles in 2015 and 2019, a very big deal in the sport. 
NASCAR writing in part in a statement tonight, "Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch, a future Hall of Famer. Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation." 
During a race less than 2 weeks ago, Tom, he had radioed into his crew to request medical aid. 
And now tonight, this tragic turn. 
Well, we're waiting to learn more.
