It was a big moment for Kyle Busch and NASCAR fans at the Auto Club Speedway race. Busch earned his record-setting victory by winning the Cup Series race. The victory gave him one win each for 19 consecutive Cup seasons, passing seven-time Cup champion Richard Petty for the record. But in his epic moment, he certainly missed his family at the trackside.

The glorious moment that the Richard Childress Racing driver had been waiting for arrived for him finally. It marked his first win with RCR since he moved from Joe Gibbs Racing. The setback from the Daytona 500 had left him upset, and this record-breaking win got him beaming. But the win came in at a time when his family could not make it to the race. 

Kyle Busch expressed his ‘missing moment’!

He captioned the post, “Missed Sam, Brex n Lennix in VL last night. Gonna have to get another checkered flag with them next week!”

In the video, he is seen describing to Samantha what was going on in his mind during the race and that he missed her and the kids. The conversation between the two was surely an ‘aww’ moment for the fans.
