I am wondering about Kyle when he called for a doctor at Watkins Glen.

OK, he had a sinus infection, did they give him a new breathing mask after that race or sterilize the one he had on.

He could have been breathing back in the infection every time he raced.

More dope this morning about Kyle. They said he was fighting a cough from about two weeks ago. At some point he was coughing up blood along with “over heating.” (that would sound like high temperature?) He wound up in the hospital the day before he died when he was found passed out in a race simulator.

It’s sounding more like a bullet was dodged since it seems he was determined to race more knowing he was sick. Passing out at 180 mph might have hurt some others along with him. It seems odd to me that the NASCAR folks would let him on a track with a serious wheez especially after he called for a doctor WHILE DRIVING in a race? When he called for a Doc he also asked for a “shot.” What would that have been?
