According to the Frontstretch he was found with a self inflicted gun shot wound to the head.
"*NASCAR veteran Kevin Grubb, a longtime competitor in the Nationwide Series,
was found dead Wednesday morning in a Richmond-area hotel. He was just 31.
Henrico County police claim Grubb, a native of nearby Mechanicsville, was
discovered in the Alpine Motel just after 11:30 AM. The cause of death has
not yet been released pending notification of next of kin, but a source
tells the Frontstretch Grubb died from a self-induced gunshot wound to the
head in what appears to be a tragic suicide. "
How sad for his family. May he finally rest in peace

I will assume his past drug abuse had something to do with his death. Rumored gun shot or not, drugs most likely played a role in his decision to do what he did.
What I dont understand is why anyone would get involved with drugs? There are no positives in getting involved with using drugs, It is a no win situation. Nobody comes out better by using drugs and yet drug abuse seems to be at epidemic proportions in the U.S.
I know I will get slammed for this but, I do not feel sorry for Kevin Grubb as he made his choices. Who I do feel sorry for are all the people who are left behind that Kevin effected. The people who are left with broken hearts and yet still have to pick up the pieces and move on. And the people he was doing these drugs with are looking at their futures if they dont stop and change the direction in their life's.

Dont take this wrong but you dont know what your talking about...no one plans to be addicted or die when they use the first time. Why do they do them? ha....they make you feel like superman...until your addicted, then you have to have them or feel like your gonna die. No offence, just been there, done that. Jb

Dont worry I am not taking this wrong at all. But I do want to know what you meant by "I dont know what I'm talking about"? Are drugs a positive in anyone's life? Is trying drugs not a choice? Should I feel more sorry for Kevin over the people who are left behind to deal with his loss? Regarding addiction, I never mentioned addiction at all. And the fact is the first time you try drugs you are making that choice. If you get addicted then once again you made the choice to try them and the after affect of getting involved with drugs is addiction.
I have never tried drugs myself so maybe I dont understand the thought process of why someone would even consider them, but I would have to think everyone knows that drugs are not good for you and it will only lead to addiction. It's not like some secret where everyone did not know drugs could hurt you. It's like smoking, we all know it is not good for your health and yet people still choose to smoke cigarettes. And Cigarettes are something I do know about as my father chose to smoke cigarettes and he died from it.
And regarding you saying been there done that, I am hopeful you were able to beat the addiction you might have been trapped in, and I would guess your life is better now then when you were in that addicted trap?

Being that he was a somewhat high profile person, he had all the options at treatment that many who are users DONT have. Treatment is expensive. Alot of addicts have said it was cheaper for them to keep using than get treatment they wanted. And the addicts keep using so they dont get dopesick,and just so they can fucntion normally,even for only a few hours.It is a vicious cycle and it must really suck being an addict. I learned alot while reading the Motley Crue biography, The Dirt, as well as the Janes Addiciton biography,2 of my favorite bands.

I think people underestimate how powerful drug addiction is and how hard it is to get clean and stay clean. With that said it IS a choice, everybody should know that drug abuse= addiction. That's why it's hard to feel sympathy for them.
As for suicide, in some ways it's similar to addiction. It is a choice but people don't know what goes into their minds unless you go through it yourself.
It sucks that Kevin found no other way out of what he was going through, but I can't say I blame the guy.

All of you who area writing that drugs and suicide are a matter of choice are gravely mistaken. For someone with a healthy brain, it may be a choice. But someone with a healthy brain would not make that choice. Mental illness, chemical imbalance, whatever you want to call it are merely symptoms of a brain malfunctioning. You don't tell someone with a heart problem to just make it beat proper or someone with a kidney problem to make it function right. When brain signals get jumbled, you're not capable of making rational decisions. Organs fail, each displaying their own symptoms. It's hard to understand when you're not afflicted. RIP Kevin!
