Busch died Thursday at age 41. No cause of death has been given. His family previously said he had been hospitalized with a “severe illness” three days before he was scheduled to compete in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The 911 call was placed late that afternoon from the General Motors training facility. In the audio. an unidentified caller described a calm. urgent scene to dispatch. saying: “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.”.

Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office audio also says Busch was lying on the bathroom floor inside the complex and that the caller told dispatch, “He is awake.” The man then directed where emergency responders should go and asked that they turn off any sirens upon arrival.
