With the 2021 NASCAR Cup season wrapped up, many drivers are enjoying the small break before the next season. Among them is Kyle Busch, who was busy vacationing with his family. Recently, Busch and his family visited a beach and had a pretty good time. Over there, he and his wife Samantha, pretended that their son Brexton was a fish and ‘caught’ him.
As per Samantha’s social media, their vacation will last for a week. So it is quite possible that once they return, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver will be hard at work preparing for the 2022 Cup season. The new season is important for him and everyone else because of the introduction of the Next Gen cars.

Of course, he will be aiming for the bigger prize, which is the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series title. For obvious reasons, the path to that prize will not be easy, as there are so many strong contenders.
