RCR will no longer run the 8. 33 instead 8 will be set aside for Brexton when he is ready.


Yep. I was right for once.

I don't know anything about that. I haven't heard or seen anything like that myself.

Reports are that he was racing in a simulator Wednesday and they found him unresponsive. Rushed to the Hospital and later died.

Sadly we now know from the 911 call that's not accurate. I almost wish it were because my hope would be that whatever caused him to be found unresponsive in the simulator would have been quick and painless. Now that we know he was awake, on the bathroom floor, experiencing shortness of breath/struggling to breathe, coughing up blood, and very hot (high fever), and feeling like he was going to pass out at the time the 911 call was placed on Wednesday evening is just awful and even more heartbreaking to hear.

Then the official announcement that he had passed away almost exactly 24 hours after that call..agonizing.

Plus he and Brexton had just been in Durham on Tuesday for the opening of the Andretti Karting place. So many more questions than answers right now outside of those on here who know significantly more in the way of details because of direct connections with members of his team.

Watched the pre-race events for tonight's truck race.....a lot of talk of KB and what he meant to the industry. A bunch of these young drivers came up through KBM and drove for him in super late models and trucks. Hitting them hard tonight, as they get comments from a bunch of them.
