Richard Childress "retired" the #8 and put a new number (#33) on the car.
Yeah guessing either he was being the typical man and trying to "tough it out" and didn't go see a Doctor and it end up costing him his life OR he did see a doctor(s) and they missed something and a lawsuit(s) is coming.

Sounds like sepsis along with pneumonia. Sepsis is a quick killer
@FriendlySpartan will have a lot more on this, but I’m leaning towards the side that he didn’t go to a Doctor until it was far too late.
Also, the “Doctor” Kyle was talking about in his Watkins Glenn audio wasn’t even a Dr. He’s a PA.
Not a ton of information (timeline mainly) but sepsis is often missed and is pretty tricky to diagnose as their isn’t just a single test you can order to find out and often the symptoms of sepsis are right in line with the patients existing acute condition/diagnosis. This is a huge issue as sepsis moves extremely fast and due to the testing I mentioned it’s often not caught in its early stages.
The main question is when they found out about the pneumonia and its severity when they initially found out and then what delays occurred after the deterioration started
Kyle Busch died after complications from sepsis, severe pneumonia, family says
The situation led to "rapid and overwhelming associated complications," Busch's family said in a statement Saturday.

That’s how my dad died.
I had two coworkers early in Covid that both got Covid, then pneumonia then sepsis. Healthy 50- and 60-year-olds gone in days
Dude I went to high school with who was a great athlete, starting LB for several years at Northwest Missouri State went this way right at the beginning of covid. Wasn't even 30.
Something doesn't completely add up. You don't just go about your day to day activities with severe pnuemonia. You might not go to the doctor but you would be really, really sick. Sounds like it was business as usual Monday and Tuesday before his collapse. Would love to see the medical notes up until his death which of course because of HIPPA we will never see. Sepsis is very serious but a healthy 41 year old almost always survives it with aggressive, proper medical care.
See my comment above. Dude was under the weather, went to his mom's for Sunday dinner, in the hospital and gone on Monday. Classic case of dude's refusing to go to the hospital early enough.
I think we’re going to find out this PA he was seeing probably just gave him these steroid shots and told him he was good to go. I’m sure Kyle thought he could tough it out and he wasn’t going to miss the Coca-Cola 600.
