What an absolutely horrible way to go.

What an absolutely horrible way to go.

Yeah. Had to be fucking horrible to go through. Shit still doesn't even feel real.

33 ride being rolled out of the hauler for Austin Hill to take the place of the 8. Full respect shown by other crews. A preview of what it's like over there at the track. A very somber time.

Edit: Now I see that Blaze posted a different video of the same thing earlier. My bad. This one does give more of a view of crews all watching. Also, was that Bubba Wallace who was standing by himself on the right side?

 

[Doom]

It's surreal of his passing. I admit that I wasn't a fan of him at all, but deep down inside, I respect him and what he's done for NASCAR and the legacy he left behind. I'm certainly gonna miss him.

Rest In Peace.

It was Bubba yeah, he broke down and had to be given a hug afterwards. Bubba got his start in NASCAR driving for KBM, as did a lot of the drivers out there. Got to be hard on all of them.

I think we all respected him and his talent. Dude could drive the hell out of a race car. One of the best to ever do it. I loved he pushed my drivers to be better, because to beat Kyle when he was on top of his game, you had to push as hard as you could, and when you beat him, my god you EARNED that win.

Yeah, Kyle clearly had talent. That never was questionable. It was his attitude, among other things that was questionable but that was due to the nature of him being so competitive. He won so much but when he lost he would make it obvious that he wasn't happy about it. Especially in the earlier years before he started a family when he would storm off from the track and not want to talk about the results. The positive part about that is it showed how much Kyle cared and how passionate he was about racing.

I think one way to put it is that Kyle had the style of Dale Sr. but he rubbed people the wrong way

Tbh, even Dale was one of those people who you either loved or hated, and rubbed people the wrong way. Much like with Kyle, when he died people knew what they've lost, and how big an impact it would be, but he definitely had a fair share of people who didn't like him.

I mean, yeah. He was the Steve Austin to Bill Elliot's The Rock.
