\u201cKyle has experienced a severe illness resulting in hospitalization,\u201d said the Busch family in a social media statement. \u201cHe is currently undergoing treatment and will not compete in any of his scheduled activities this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We ask for understanding and privacy as our family navigates this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will be Busch\u2019s first time in over 10 years that he has missed a race in the Cup Series. Busch missed the first 11 races of the 2015 season after suffering a broken foot and compound leg fracture after a crash in the season opener of the Xfinity Series. That race took place at Daytona International Speedway in Florida.<\/p>\n

It was announced by Richard Childress Racing (RCR) that Austin Hill, the driver of RCR\u2019s No. 21 car that competes in the O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series, will be subbing for Busch in the Cup Series racing the No. 8 car.<\/p>\n

\u201cKyle Busch\u2019s health is our upmost priority and he and his family have the full resources of RCR behind them,\u201d said RCR in an official statement, per ESPN. \u201cKyle is an integral part of our organization and we wish him a safe and speedy recovery. His No. 8 Chevrolet will be ready and waiting for him. We\u2019re thankful to Austin Hill for stepping in to drive the No. 8 Chevrolet this weekend. Please keep Kyle and the Busch family in your prayers, and help us respect the family\u2019s privacy at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a Cup Series race at Watkins Glen earlier in May, Busch said to his crew over the radio that he needed medical aid and a \u201cshot\u201d following the race. Busch\u2019s doctor is Dr. Bill Heisel. Per the broadcast on television, Busch was suffering from a sinus cold that escalated as a result of G-force intensity and changes to elevation at the road course in Upstate New York.<\/p>\n
