One might assume that the wife of a racing legend is accustomed to the rush of the racetrack. Still, Samantha’s confession lays bare the intensity she feels with every race her son participates in. “It is very nerve-wracking as the mother. I always thought being like a driver’s wife was nerve-wracking. But every single race he’s in feels like a Daytona or a Talladega.”
“Because the thing is, at least at this age, they have a little bit of common sense,” Samantha Busch explains, only to be playfully refuted by her Richard Childress Racing husband with a chuckle: “No, we don’t.” Mrs. Busch further admitted, “Sometimes you get this age, and it’s like lap one. Let’s go 5 wide, not lift and see what happens.”
Samantha’s voice carries a mix of maternal pride and concern as she navigates the rollercoaster of emotions tied to her son’s racing endeavors. It’s a world where the thrill of speed collides with the gravity of motherhood.
