Dakota Hunter, vice president of Kyle Busch Companies, said in a news release that the family received the medical evaluation Saturday.

"The medical evaluation provided to the Busch Family concluded that severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications," the Busch family statement read. "The Family asks for continued understanding and privacy during this difficult time."

Busch was testing in the racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina, on Wednesday when he became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte, several people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. Busch experienced shortness of breath, felt he was overheating and was coughing up blood the day before his death, according to a 911 call obtained Friday by ABC.

During the emergency call placed late Wednesday afternoon, an unidentified caller calmly told the dispatch: "I've got an individual that's [got] shortness of breath, very hot, thinks he's going to pass out and is producing a little bit of blood, coughing up some blood."

1. He died of stupidity

41 year old men ignore serious symptoms.

He did not need a shot- he needed a thorough medical examination.
One more person who listens to stupid ads telling us to tell our doctors what we need rather than heading to the doctor for expert advice.
Sad but you can’t fix stupid.

Typically the immune system releases chemicals to fight off pathogens like bacteria, viruses or fungi, but with sepsis the response goes into overdrive. The results can cause widespread inflammation, form microscopic blood clots and make blood vessels leak.

Busch was thought to have had a sinus cold while racing at Watkins Glen on May 10 and radioed in to his team saying that he needed a "shot" from a doctor after the race. However, he bounced back to win the Trucks Series race at Dover last weekend, and then he finished 17th in the All-Star race on Sunday.

He did not bounce back - his condition worsened.
