Kyle Busch, the NASCAR legend, died Thursday at age 41, shortly after winning what would be his final race. His family had announced he would miss the Coca-Cola 600 because he\u2019d been hospitalized.<\/p>\n

Just days earlier, Busch had spoken about how he didn\u2019t set a specific goal for career win totals, saying drivers should \u201ctake whatever you can get\u201d because you never know when a final one will come. in interviews after his Dover win,he also repeated a similar sentiment-those moments don\u2019t get old because you can\u2019t know it\u2019ll be the last.<\/p>\n

two weeks before his death, Busch had sought medical attention<\/a> for a notable cough while racing at Watkins Glen, saying he needed a shot after the race. A later statement from NASCAR, his team, and his family praised him as a \u201cfuture Hall of Famer\u201d and highlighted his achievements across NASCAR\u2019s top series<\/a>, including championships and a large number of wins. <\/p>\n
