Racing legend Kyle Busch was coughing up blood and lying on a bathroom floor when somebody called for help from a General Motors training facility in North Carolina, according to the 911 call obtained by NBC News. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got an individual that\u2019s, uh, shortness of breath, very hot, thinks he\u2019s going to pass out and is producing a little bit of blood \u2014 coughing up some blood,\u201d the man could be heard saying around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, the day before Busch\u2019s death was announced by NASCAR. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s awake,\u201d the man said. \u201cHe\u2019s on the bathroom floor right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the audio, the man can be heard asking for an ambulance to come to the General Motors Charlotte Technical Center in Concord, N.C. and telling the dispatcher he would be waiting outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you turn the sirens off,\u201d the man asked. <\/p>\n

The caller\u2019s name appeared to be redacted from the version of the 911 call released by emergency officials in Concord.<\/p>\n

Busch was testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord on Wednesday when he got sick, The Associated Press reported earlier. <\/p>\n

His family said he was hospitalized with a severe illness and undergoing treatment. But they did not say what kind of illness Busch had and, so far, the official cause of death has not been revealed.<\/p>\n

Word of Busch\u2019s death came 11 days after he radioed into his crew near the end of a Cup Series race in Watkins Glen, New York, asking a doctor to give him a \u201cshot\u201d after he finished the race. <\/p>\n

Busch, according to the TV broadcast, had been struggling with a sinus cold that was worsened by the intense G-forces and elevation changes at the road course.<\/p>\n

Five days later, though, Busch won the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race in Dover. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou take whatever you can get, man,\u201d Busch said on May 15, in what turned out to be his last post-race interview. \u201cYou never know when the last one is going to be, so cherish them all \u2014 trust me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, about a week after telling the doctor that he needed \u201cthe shot,\u201d Busch discussed his symptoms to reporters in a video shared by The Athletic reporter Jeff Gluck.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still not great,\u201d Busch said. \u201cThe cough was pretty substantial last week.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sudden death of Busch sent shockwaves through the racing community. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch,\u201d NASCAR said on X, remembering him as \u201cone of our sport\u2019s greatest and fiercest drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a joint statement from the Busch family, NASCAR and Richard Childress Racing, the driver was called \u201ca rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

Busch was also a sometimes polarizing figure off the race track, earning the nicknames \u201cRowdy\u201d and \u201cWild Thing\u201d for his post-race fights, regular feuds with other drivers, and sometimes outlandish behavior.<\/p>\n
