North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff to honor late NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, who died at 41.
The statewide tribute began on Saturday and will continue until Sunday, with Stein praising Busch's impact on the racing community.
New details surrounding Busch's final days have emerged, with his family stating he died from severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis.
Busch had competed in NASCAR's All-Star Race just days before his death and reportedly won a Truck Series race less than a week earlier.
The NASCAR community has been left in shock by Busch's sudden death, with many remembering him as one of the sport's most recognizable and successful modern-era drivers.
