On social media, the better half of American racing icon Kyle Busch, Samantha Busch, often discusses her husband’s job and aspirations. She expressed her view on Busch potentially racing at the Indy 500 in a recent social media exchange.
Known formally as the Indianapolis 500, this IndyCar Series race is NTT IndyCar Series. Still, it is regarded as among the most elite races in all US motorsports. Winning the tournament, therefore, will add another glorious chapter in Busch’s already remarkable story.
Kyle Busch’s Career So Far
Busch has taken the NASCAR Cup Series trophy home twice in his career. “The Candy Man” has 231 NASCAR wins under his belt, including 63 NASCAR Cup Series wins. He is currently the ninth most successful driver in NASCAR history.
The Richard Childress Racing star has also enjoyed great success in the Xfinity and Truck Series. Busch put together nine incredible wins in the 2009 Xfinity Championship and has the highest number of wins across the top three NASCAR divisions.

A fan asked Samantha about the possibility of seeing Busch participating in the Indy 500.
“Just wondering if @KyleBusch has found a ride for Indy500? I watched him on @PatMcAfeeShow and Pat said find a car and he would pay for him to race,” the fan asked Mrs. Busch.
Samantha replied, “I wish he would absolutely love to run the Indy 500.”
Kyle Busch has yet to appear in the IndyCar Series. As far as IndyCar experience goes, he once shared a ride in an IndyCar vehicle with former champion Tony Kanaan but never sat behind the wheel to compete.
Busch’s Family Life
Kyle and Samantha Busch have been happily married for 14 years. Their relationship dates back even further, having started seeing each other in 2008. Then after more than two years of dating, they tied the knot in December 2010.
Kyle and Samantha welcomed their first child, Brexton, in 2015, and seven years later, Lennix became a part of their family.
Samantha owns a clothing line called “Shop Samantha Busch.” She recently introduced some NASCAR-themed outfits and shared the photos with her 250,000+ Instagram followers.
