Cancer is a scary thing, and it has struck again for longtime NASCAR personality Steve Byrnes. The cancer that has been an ongoing probem for Brynes and he will now take an indefinite leave of absense to focus on his health.

Head-and-Neck is the type of cancer that Byrnes was diagnosed with just last year, in 2013. Byrnes will be stepping away from his Race Hub hosting job and his Camping World Truck Series commentating duties.

There is no timetable on when Byrnes could be back to his duties on TV, and obviously there is no rush. His leave is very well respected and much needed. When someone is that sick they do need to be right with their family and do everything with them. Family is most important in life no matter what way you put it.
