RIP Kyle Busch.

I'm not going to pretend to know anything about NASCAR but this does make me pretty sad. He was the most prominent name in the sport for most of my high school and college life.

For the last 30 minutes, I've been texting non-stop with my former co-workers. Very sad news.

He was just announced to have a "serious illness" this morning, and then he died within hours. Completely unexpected and shocking.

I won't lie, I was not a fan of Kyle's, but I had respect for his wins and his competitiveness. I have to be honest, I'm not a big fan of most of the younger drivers, which is sad. But I've had the chance to spend a lot of time over the years with Austin Dillon, and I like him a lot. So I've grown to appreciate Kyle more as Austin's teammate.

And I like Chase Elliot. Hard to root against the son of Awesome Bill from Dawsonville.

Would love to hear your reasoning behind Austin Dillon

I think I said it. Personal experiences and interactions, from dinners when he was in Daytona to spending time in the infield and in his pitbox. Austin and his pit crew. I liked him and his guys.

And not to speak ill of the departed, but I never had any good experiences with the Busch brothers.
