Kyle Busch’s little girl is already proving she has the racing spirit with an adorable video that recently made rounds online. Shared by her mom, Samantha Busch, the two-year-old was seen doing donuts in a cute pink toy car, all while her proud mom cheered her on from the sidelines. Samantha’s caption, “Guess it runs in the family,” perfectly sums up this heartwarming moment.
The Busch family has deep roots in the racing community. Kyle Busch is a two-time NASCAR Cup Champion and holds the record for the most wins across all three of NASCAR’s national series. Adding to the family prestige is his brother, Kurt Busch, who clinched the 2004 NASCAR Cup Championship and has earned wins with multiple teams.
In the junior racing leagues, Kyle’s son, Brexton Busch, is already making waves, often competing alongside his dad. With this family legacy, it’s clear they’re setting the stage for the next generation of Busch racers, and their daughter isn’t far behind!

On a different note, Kyle Busch is facing a challenging transition into the 2024 NASCAR Cup season. Despite being a veteran in the sport, he missed out on the playoff cut this year, breaking a streak of almost two decades with at least one race win each season. Reflecting on his performance, he said, “Just didn’t execute well enough and have the pace that we needed… crashed a lot, and so that just kind of self-eliminated us.”
This setback hit economically too, with both Busch and Richard Childress Racing facing significant financial impacts due to not making the playoffs. In NASCAR, playoff promotions and race winnings are pivotal, and missing these opportunities can be costly.
Despite the hurdles, Busch is determined to bounce back and aims to disrupt the postseason as a ‘spoiler’ while eyeing future wins and financial recovery.
