We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.
30 laps around a flaming ball of death and heat doesn't seem impressive. It sounds metal as fuck, but not impressive.
Here's hoping the Earth doesn't DNF over the next 30, I guess.....

In the famous words of Andrew McCutchen: “Furries”
Cutch hammered his first home run as a member of the Texas Rangers yesterday, powering the Rangers to an 8-3 victory over Philadelphia, and the timing couldn’t have been more fitting. More than 1,300 miles away, the annual Texas Furry Fiesta was underway at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel.
McCutchen famously tweeted “Furries”, with no further context, during the 2014 season, a year after his NL MVP campaign. Since then, the 39-year-old has made it a tradition to post the singular word whenever Anthrocon, the world’s largest furry convention, takes place in Pittsburgh.
Over the years, Cutch has become known for summoning “the power of furries” when playing in Pittsburgh while the convention is in town. Since that first tweet, he has hit .355 with a 1.161 OPS, 33 hits, and 4 home runs across 22 games in those circumstances.
It appears that, even 1,300 miles from the Texas Furry Fiesta, the furry powers still found their way to Cutch, as he posted a .444 average and a 1.444 OPS, with a home run and 4 RBI this opening weekend in Philadelphia.
Furries.

Seen several quote-tweets of this saying "Austin wrecked Aric!!1!" and while I'm not a fan of Austin, I can say in full confidence that he did not wreck Aric.
Aric threw a Logano Block™️ on Austin and rightfully got his ass handed to him for doing so.
Memorable Moments of the Daytona 500 (according to @bobpockrass).
#19: "Austin Dillon would not be denied in 2018, turning Aric Almirola when Almirola attempted to retain the lead with a last-lap block. Dillon’s win put the iconic No. 3 back in Daytona 500 Victory Lane."
@MadeOnChinatown@TeamTrackhouse@ConnorZilisch@shanevg97 The yellow headlight liner is due to Red Bull's sponsorship of the cars.
Rookies traditionally had yellow stripes on the rear bumper of their car, until NASCAR made a rule change removing that as a requirement last year, like what's seen here on Chase Elliot's car from 2016:
