Doctor says Kyle Busch’s tragic death was ‘totally preventable’ – details how protocol was ignored

The revelation that legendary NASCAR driver Kyle Busch’s death was “totally preventable” has left a profound crater in the racing world, not only because of the monumental legacy he leaves behind, but because of how easily the tragedy might have been avoided. Racing through a worsening illness and fiercely convinced that he was battling “just” a routine sinus infection, he pushed on with the exact same relentless, unyielding will that made him a multi-time champion on the track. That signature, stubborn drive, medical professionals now suggest, may have ultimately cost him his life, robbing him of the critical window to treat a severe pneumonia that was silently and rapidly turning deadly.
