CONCORD, N.C. \u2014 NASCAR driver Kyle Busch died Thursday at 41<\/a> , three days before he was set to run the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.<\/p>

Here is what to know:<\/p>\n

At this point, the cause of death has not been released and details remain limited.<\/p>\n

What is known is that Busch was testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord on Wednesday when he became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte, several people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details have not been disclosed by Busch\u2019s team or family.<\/p>\n

Busch was thought to have had a sinus cold While racing May 10 at Watkins Glen, Busch radioed his team requesting a \u201cshot\u201d from a doctor after he finished. Per the TV broadcast, Busch had been struggling with a sinus cold that was exacerbated by the intense G-forces and elevation changes at the New York road course.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if that issue had something to do with his death.<\/p>\n

Busch did race last weekend and won the Trucks Series race at Dover and finished 17th in the NASCAR All-Star race. That would be his final race.<\/p>\n

Busch won 234 races across NASCAR\u2019s three national series \u2014 more than any driver in history. He won Cup season championships in 2015 and 2019 for Joe Gibbs Racing.<\/p>

His first championship was particularly impressive. Busch missed the first 11 Cup races of the 2015 season after injuring his foot following a crash in the O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts series opener in Daytona, but came back to win five races to qualify for the playoffs before capturing the title at Homestead.<\/p>\n

No. NASCAR officials confirmed that the 400-lap race will continue on as planned Sunday night at the 1 1\/2-mile track at Charlotte Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, RCR had announced that Austin Hill would replace Busch in the No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.<\/p>\n

Yes, CMS officials said they plan to honor Busch \u201cin some way\u201d this weekend at the Coca-Cola 600, but details were still being ironed out.<\/p>\n
