It seems, for Kyle Busch, ‘daddy duties’ are just as important as his racing career! While the #8 RCR driver’s start to the 2024 season has been all about pit road mix-ups and rough patches giving rise to soaring tension, off the track, his daughter Lennix has been the perfect person to help him unwind. And just like every dedicated father, Kyle Busch took up the task of pleasing his two-year-old daughter with a task too delicate for his sturdy hands.

Lennix Busch seems to be enjoying the pampering session

Kyle Busch recently took a breather to hang out with his little girl, Lennix Kay Busch, born in May 2022. With the racetracks not treating him too kindly these days, Kyle figured it was prime time for some chill vibes with the fam. And hey, when you’re a dad to a little lady, you sign up for whatever it takes to make her smile, right? Kyle gave us a peek into this softer side, posting a photo on Twitter with Lennix on his lap, getting her nails done by him. The caption to the tweet read, “Girl Dad Duties💅🏻.”

This little pit stop from the fast lanes and engine roars, especially after weeks of rigorous racing, must’ve been a nice change of pace. However, no matter how soft his daughter might be, getting her nails done, enjoying some pampering sessions from her dad, Kyle’s not ruling out the possibility of Lennix taking the wheel someday. Back in March 2024, he shared a video helping her into a helmet, teasing, “We’re going to have another racer in the family before you know it!!👀🙌🏻”

Sure, Kyle Busch has been soaking up these sweet family moments, but he’s got to snap back to the grind this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. Well, for now, he can enjoy the time with his family and comments from fans flattered by the sweet gesture of the ‘rowdy.’

NASCAR enthusiasts are totally smitten with the heartwarming photo
