Welcome back, folks, as we continue to follow that breaking news from the racing world, the death of Kyle Busch, the age of 41.So many folks are reflecting on this horrific news, shocking news tonight.Our Nick Carboni, sports director, is joining us.And we continue to hear from folks from the racing world, including a fellow driver.
Yeah, listen, obviously, there's an overwhelming amount of statements from drivers on social media.We had a camera actually with Joey Logano this evening at about 6 .30 at an event that was pre -planned, and he still made it to the event.And we were able to ask Joey his fresh reaction to the tragic passing of his colleague and competitor, Kyle Busch.Take a listen.
Kyle and I have been tough competitors, right?We didn't see eye to eye on everything, but there was a mutual respect for each other's talents and what he's been able to do in our sport.I mean, the bottom line is he is one of the best drivers to ever sit in a race car.And he impacted our sport in so many ways.You know, such a huge personality.It's a really great guy.
It's a really big reminder of how fragile life is.Because honestly, I mean, he won the race last week, or he won the truck race last week.And this week, we don't have Kyle anymore.And I'm shell shocked.I don't even know really what to say.My heart goes out to his family.
Our community is pretty tight, right?Like I said, we compete against each other and those type of things.But our kids play together on the weekends, right?you know their personal side and it's, I guess it's heartbreaking thinking about what they're going through right now at this moment.
