Kyle Busch has spent years perfecting the art of chasing the checkered flag. Behind the wheel, nothing escapes his attention: spotter calls, tire wear, fuel strategy — it’s all processed with machine-like efficiency. Simply put, Busch doesn’t miss a thing on race day. But hand the man a smartphone and all his reflexes vanish into thin air. At least this is what wife Samantha Busch believes about her two-time NASCAR Cup champion husband. But why is that so?
Being the matriarch of the Busch empire, Samantha likes to keep things cool on the social side of things. She has often taken jabs at her husband on social media, while also continuing to support his career. After all, having been by Kyle’s side since their early days together in 2008 and through over a decade of marriage, she’s earned the right to poke a little fun. But this time around, she had quite a complaint to share about his habits. And in true Samantha fashion, she didn’t just mention it — she made sure the whole internet had front-row seats to the roast.
