“You can do it @rowdybusch,” wrote Samantha Busch on her Instagram post. Was she talking about him winning on the track? Or was it about winning the Cup Series once again? Wrong! Samantha Busch was chiding Rowdy on one of his bad habits, not doing laundry properly. Having been married for 15 years, Samantha Busch has gotten used to Rowdy’s habits so far.

But there’s one more habit that Rowdy would love for Samantha to stop: her forgetfulness when it comes to sending Kyle Busch grocery shopping

Now, NASCAR fans have grown to love Samantha’s Instagram updates on the family, especially her little revelations on Busch here and there. This time, she wrote, “When a simple grocery run turns into a full-on Q&A session… 🤦‍♀️😂” Now she is making her husband race off again but not to win championships this time but to run her errands. The twist was she forgot to check her phone with Kyle Busch’s messages bombarding her phone.

This isn’t the first time Samantha has poked fun at Rowdy. A few years ago, when Samantha was catching up on her favorite show Love Island, she found Kyle Busch annoying her once again. “When you’re trying to watch Love Island but your husband is blaring race videos on his phone next to you.” Another time, again when Samantha was catching up on a different show, she wanted to share the drama with Busch, except he was asleep! In the video, the couple played a joke by playing audio that said, “Violence is not the answer, but yes it is.” 

Busch was quick to defend himself this time around, writing in the comments, “This is facts. Why does she continually think that I can make a grocery run successfully?! 🤦🏻‍♂️.” Kyle’s the intense NASCAR guy, who snapped over the radio at Bristol in ’18 after a wreck, blaming himself for misjudging a move that took out Truex. Samantha’s his tough partner, standing by him through it all. They share everything from racing wins to infertility struggles to even Kyle’s blow-up at Daytona last month.

The couple’s journey together has been inspiring for fans. Whether it’s the story of them meeting for the first time in 2007, Samantha jumping into Busch’s car for a fan ride-along, or their struggles with IVF, they’ve stuck together through thick and thin. As Samantha once explained, “After over a year of trying, we did five rounds of Clomid before moving to IVF. Round 1 was successful, Round 2 ended in miscarriage… Finally, round 6 with a gestational carrier was a success. Kyle was my rock, and it felt like I didn’t have that anymore… It felt like divorce was real, and it was scary.”

What’s their secret? Well, as Samantha has revealed many times on her Instagram, it’s the couple and the family sticking together through it all. Samantha regularly drops updates on the silly things happening in the Busch household, keeping things light and breezy for all members of the family.

Does Kyle Busch's grocery forgetfulness make him more relatable, or should he step up his game?

The dependable dad Kyle Busch

At Phoenix Raceway for the 2025 Shriners Children’s 500, he had this moment with his two-year-old daughter, Lennix, that would melt anyone. Samantha Busch caught it on camera and shared it, and honestly, it’s the kind of thing that makes you stop scrolling.

The family’s about to pray before the race, and there’s Kyle, holding Lennix’s tiny purse with this big, goofy smile. Samantha’s caption said it all, “Tell me you’re a girl dad without telling me you’re a girl dad.” Lennix told her father, “Daddy hold my purse so I can pray,” and you can just hear the love in her words. It’s not the tough, loud Kyle we’re used to seeing on the track. It’s him being soft, present, and totally wrapped around his little girl’s finger.

Samantha was moved. Seeing her husband, this high-profile racer drop everything just to hold a purse for his kid. That’s organic love. They’ve been through so much together—IVF struggles, the spotlight, all of it and here’s this quiet, sweet moment showing what matters most to them. Kyle’s not big on showing his soft side, but with Lennix, it just spills out.

It’s funny, too, because he was all business that weekend, focused on the race. But for those few seconds, it was just him and Lennix, and Samantha couldn’t hide how it touched her. This will be stuck with her longer than any race result. Moments like that are what make the Busch family feel so human, even with all the fame. What do you think, doesn’t it just warm you up inside?
