To some NASCAR fans, Kyle Busch was a villain. To Rowdy Nation, he was a hero. I went to Welcome, North Carolina — home of RCR headquarters — to talk to fans mourning the shocking death of their favorite driver. “Where else would I be?” usatoday.com/story/sports/n…

NASCAR needed Rowdy. It needed Kyle Busch. He won 234 races and will be remembered not only as an iconic villain, but one of the best drivers ever. usatoday.com/story/sports/n…

Suppose it’s time for my own personal news on here: Today is my last official day with the Post-Gazette. On Monday, I start as sports editor for @freep. A bittersweet day, especially with the massive changes in Pittsburgh. But I’m excited for a new chapter.

For those looking to support Wes Rucker's family in the aftermath of unfathomable loss, here is the GoFundMe. Lauren is one of the kindest people this world has to offer and this is a way to support the family in their time of need. gofund.me/bf9e918ed

Wes hired me as a radio intern in Knoxville in 2009. I expected to get him coffee or pass him stats. He expected me to speak into the mic and contribute. I learned a lot from that. Pray for his family.

Heartbreaking news on Vols beat: Wes Rucker, who covered UT since 2000, died in a car crash Thursday. Wes was a loving husband & father. Witty, talented & often the last to leave the Neyland press box. Prayers for Lauren, Hank & a baby girl on the way. knoxnews.com/story/sports/c…

Devastating moment in time in our little corner of the world, where Wes had a huge presence. Wednesday night we were laughing about the 2018 NCAA Tournament. Eating sad cheeseburgers after Loyola. Pray for his family, which was everything to him. knoxnews.com/story/sports/c…

I’ve lost one of my best friends suddenly, and I still don’t know what to think. Wes Rucker was a hell of a writer, but he was also one hell of a devoted son, father, husband, friend. RIP to my brother. I will treasure the memories and miss you terribly. knoxnews.com/story/sports/c…
