I didn't watch his videos or follow him on social, but he did pop up on other channels I watch from time to time. That said, the outpouring of support I have seen in the past 24 hours on social media has been incredible.

Known him for 25 years. Terrible news. Changed the landscape of car culture and set the standard for digital media, building online presence and merch sales that only others look to replicate.

There will be a car meet Saturday night at the Harbor Freight on North 90th for Kyle. I can't make it, but it will be special.

Yeah, that hits hard. I wasn't too big a fan of his, as his name was Rowdy for a reason. But I began to respect his style later on. Then this years Daytona 500 when he started 2nd I think, I was totally rooting for him to win it, as thats pretty much the only accolade he hadn't accomplished and I wanted to see it happen. A few weeks ago he wrecked somebody on purpose and I cheered because he was right in doing so. It just won't be the same without him.

Two time NASCAR Cup Champion Kyle Busch

AP reported he had been suffering a sinus cold earlier this month.

Steve Reed / The Associated Press wrote:The news comes 11 days after Busch radioed into his crew near the end of a Cup Series race at Watkins Glen asking a doctor to give him a “shot” when he finished the race. According to the TV broadcast, Busch had been struggling with a sinus cold exacerbated by the intense G-forces and elevation changes at the New York road course.

Even sadder, after he won the truck race this last weekend, he was asked what is it about these moments that still makes it special. He said "because you never know which one is the last". Less than a week later, he's gone. Just tragic.

An incredibly nice man. Back in the 90's saw him many times at the Holy Ghost basement on Q St going over film from the previous Saturday's Husker game. Back then it was almost always done by a full time Husker Assistant Coach. Later it shifted more and more to graduate assistants. He was my favorite to hear.

Randolph Mantooth
Age 80

Was Gage on the TV series Emergency from 72-77 Watched this as a young kid and then watched a lot or reruns

There was one time many years ago when I was traveling for work and got stuck in an extended layover that was unplanned. I had three or four season box set with me and binged watched a bunch or episodes on my laptop. Watching them back to back I was surprised have many scenes were used over and over in many episodes. Yes this was a while ago when the laptop had a CD / DVD built in and streaming was not a widely available option

First 10 minutes of the movie is Chromatics. Nightcall comes on at about the 11 minute mark.
I'm now watching Drive
