The NASCAR family is saddened by the loss of Ned Jarrett, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, two-time Cup Series champion and one of our sport's greatest ambassadors.
We extend our deepest condolences.
Just received a statement from Kyle Busch's family on the cause of his death:
"The medical evaluation provided to the Busch Family concluded that severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications.
"The Family asks for continued understanding and privacy during this difficult time."
Richard Childress Racing has elected to suspend use of the No. 8 and will run the No. 33 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and beyond. Kyle Busch was instrumental in the design of RCR’s stylized No. 8 and it has become synonymous with Kyle and an important symbol for his fans and the NASCAR industry. No one can carry it forward to the level that he did. The No. 8 is reserved and ready for Brexton Busch when he is ready to go NASCAR racing.
20 years ago today: Austin Box committed to OU.
Rated as a 4⭐️ LB from Enid, Box was the No. 1 player in Oklahoma and the No. 46 overall player in the 2007 class by Rivals.
He had offers from OU, Nebraska, Kansas State and others.
Forever in our hearts. 12❤️
