Samantha Busch, married to NASCAR champion Kyle Busch since 2010, steps into the spotlight as more than just a driver’s wife. She may not have a million Instagram followers, but it’s the impact that ultimately counts. And she has had plenty of that. She helped run Kyle Busch Motorsports and started the “Bundle of Joy Fund” in 2015 to help with infertility, something she faced herself. With that, she has always put an unfiltered version of herself in front of the world. And recently, we saw another glimpse of that real self.
One of her unfiltered nature popped up in her December 2024 Instagram Story, where she roasted her husband’s kitchen skills.
“Literally, Kyle asked me tonight where we kept the air fryer—not because he was cooking or anything, but because I asked him to set it out for me,” she wrote. The scenario seemed to remind her of Doug Heffernan from the sitcom The King of Queens. She did not even hesitate when her son won the Golden Driller earlier this year. But that is not all she does.Loading today's weather.

Samantha Busch likes to post about skincare and about women taking care of themselves. One of her recent posts on Instagram was about her curly hair, where she posted a video of her showing off her curls. Her caption read, “When I tell people I have naturally curly-ish hair and they ask why I don’t wear it natural.” People wonder why she straightens her wavy-curly mix instead of keeping it natural.

Earlier, she had showed off her toned abs and strong physique in a teal workout co-ord set on Instagram.

Samantha Busch left as the only non-racer in a growing Busch dynasty
Samantha Busch finds herself the odd one out as the Busch family’s racing legacy expands. Her two-year-old daughter, Lennix, is showing early signs of racing fever, joining her father Kyle Busch, and brother Brexton on the track. During an Instagram ‘Ask Me Anything,’ a fan asked Samantha, “So, Brexton is all for intents and purposes a race car driver…has Lennix expressed interest in it?” She replied, “Oh yes, her and Brexton race just about every day we are home, out in the neighborhood,” hinting at Lennix’s budding passion.
The 39-year-old already mentors Brexton, who’s carving his own path in grassroots racing. Now, Lennix’s interest adds another layer to the Busch dynasty. Samantha, who doesn’t race, remains the family’s backbone, managing their hectic life while supporting her husband’s career at Richard Childress Racing and Brexton’s budding one.
The Busch racing saga isn’t new with Kyle’s brother Kurt, a former Cup champ, also returning in 2025, eyeing the “Race of Champions” with Travis Pastrana. But Lennix’s interest stole the show. This shift is leaving her as the last non-racer. While Kyle, Brexton, and now Lennix chase speed, Samantha holds it all together, proving she’s the real MVP off the track.
