Two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch will miss this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway after being hospitalized with a severe illness. His family has requested understanding and privacy as they navigate this situation.
Austin Hill will take over driving duties in the No. 8 Chevrolet for Sunday's race, with Richard Childress Racing confirming the replacement.
Busch's health is the top priority, and the team has expressed their support for his speedy recovery. The veteran driver is currently 24th in the Cup standings and has struggled this season, but remains one of NASCAR's all-time greats with 232 victories across the top three national series.
