Sending prayers to the Klein family. It was a pleasure to work for him during my short time as an intern in sports information at UofL.

Kenny always made every single person, including the interns, feel so important. He will be missed.

Josh Heird has told the U of L athletic association board that former sports information director Kenny Klein “had a pretty tragic event a week ago and is really battling at U of L Health right now to, quite honestly, survive.” He asked the board to keep him in their thoughts and prayers. I’d ask that of everybody. There’s no better person than Kenny.

Thank you, everyone, for the well wishes, support, & love for my brother and our family. I reflect back on the days Kyle and I raced anything we could get our hands on.
I will forever be grateful for the memories we made, the lessons you taught me, and the brotherhood we shared.

Bell with one of the hardest hits that I've ever seen.

Pretty impressive that the AMR safety crew appeared just 12 seconds after the car came to a stop.

If you’re a NASCAR under the age of 47, you’ll be watching your first ever Cup race today without a Busch or an Earnhardt in it.

The 2026 Coca-Cola 600 will be the first NASCAR Cup Series race without an Earnhardt or Busch in the field since 1979.

Carson Hocevar is here at Carb Day and he just did an interview with Fox, which touched on Kyle Busch. Some selected comments: "Obviously we had our battles as competitors but you wouldn't have known that when he walked in the Spire shop. ... That said a lot about him.

"You don't have to say anything, you can just see the impact it's made from every discipline of racing, every news outlet. ... You can see the needle mover he was.

"He has a thousand trophies, but the memories are going to live well past those trophies. Some people lost their biggest hero or the one they loved to hate, and we need both of those in our sport."

[Carson Hocevar @CarsonHocevar]

every day is a privilege and today is a truly sad reminder of that.

this little boy in this picture hated you on sunday’s. but he loved to hate you, and you made it very difficult to hate and not become a fan when your passion for racing showed, when you would show up to his home town to race at his home tracks. he will be forever grateful for that.

from a fan, to a hater, to a competitor, to a teammate, and to even maybe a friend. i share that story because this little kid in the picture was not anywhere near the true number that you impacted for the better just through racing.

you will be deeply missed. both on the race track, but certainly off.

RIP. 🕊️
