Despite being one of the most decorated drivers in NASCAR history, Kyle Busch isn’t immune to the classic husband dilemma—being hilariously clueless about household details. While he’s a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack, at home, it’s a different story entirely. And Samantha Busch, his wife, isn’t afraid to let the world know about it. Recently, she took to Instagram to poke fun at Kyle in a way that had fans laughing and nodding along.
The lighthearted ribbing started with a simple, everyday situation in their kitchen, but it quickly turned into a relatable moment for so many couples.

Where’s the air fryer? Samantha’s playful jabs at Kyle’s domestic cluelessness
“Literally Kyle asked me tonight where we kept the air fryer,” Samantha shared on her Instagram story. “Not because he was cooking or anything, but because I asked him to set it out for me.” The whole situation gave her major The King of Queens vibes, reminding her of the classic sitcom moment where Doug gets called out by his wife Carrie for repeatedly forgetting where the scissors are kept.
It’s the kind of moment many families can relate to, and Samantha’s followers loved the post. By tying Kyle’s forgetfulness to a beloved TV show, she turned a small domestic mishap into something universally funny and endearing. Samantha’s posts are a hit not only because they’re funny but also because they’re authentic. They show her as the glue holding everything together—a mom and wife managing a household, and also being an entrepreneur and philanthropist.
As the Executive Director of the Bundle of Joy Fund, Samantha is directly involved in helping the foundation achieve its mission to advocate for infertility education and awareness and remove financial barriers by granting monetary awards to couples who require fertility treatments to have their bundle of joy. The Busch’s had their first child, Brexton, through IVF and decided to write a book, “Fighting Infertility,” and start a fund (Bundle of Joy) to spread awareness on the same.
Their 9-year-old son Brexton, already carving out a name for himself in the junior dirt racing series, adds another layer of busyness to their lives. Since starting his racing journey in 2020, Brexton has racked up over 30 wins and recently transitioned from dirt to asphalt, debuting in karting. If that sounds like a lot to handle, it’s because it is—and Samantha juggles it all with grace (and a healthy dose of humor). Recently, the Busch family finally overcame a long wait to eat at a prestigious restaurant, and Samantha was as excited as ever.
