Samantha Busch is loving the fresh and natural food in Italy while on vacation with family, including her NASCAR driver husband, Kyle Busch. The NASCAR 2024 season is on a two-week break until August 12.
The couple is taking the free time to explore beautiful Italian towns and islands like Positano Capri. Samantha has been sharing daily updates of the family vacation, and in a recent story on Instagram, they were seen enjoying delicious food in Italy.
"Everything is so fresh, I can't get over the food! Nothing is filled with chemicals or fake ingredients," she wrote.
Food in Italy and other European countries is known for its quality. Unlike processed food popular in the US, Italian cuisine uses fresh and natural ingredients.
Bush also shared pictures of herself and the family on the Amalfi coast in other stories. Her son, Brexton, even prepared a dessert.
Samantha Busch and family's Italian summer
Samantha Busch is a businesswoman and blogger who has been married to Kyle Bush since 2010. She also co-owns a race team with her husband, who is a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion.
Her recent trip to Italy has led her to the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Rome, Caivano and Sorrento while also discoving her roots.
"Falling in love with the views in Positano see you tomorrow Amalfi 😍," she wrote.
In an earlier post, Samantha Busch reflected on her father’s tough childhood in Italy. She shared how visiting his old home and grandfather’s place helped her appreciate her own upbringing and family values.
"Growing up my Pops always told us stories of how he grew up in Italy and came over by boat with four other siblings. ... He explained how they grew up poor, how they worked their whole lives starting so young to help the family pay for food and other necessities," she wrote.
"I heard the stories but couldn’t quite imagine it. Yesterday I had the chance to go to Caivano and see his childhood house along with my Nonno’s. One bedroom, no bathroom. It put my childhood into perspective. How I was raised, the values that were instilled. "
Samantha Busch concluded:
"Why my Nonnie always served so much food and yelled mangia (eat) to us constantly. Why my dad always fought to give us the best and how proud he was when I went to college. An absolutely surreal experience," she added.
Fans were happy to see their posts and commented on the amazing views and tasty food. The vacation is a great way for Kyle Busch to relax before the racing season starts again.
Busch, who drives the No. 8 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, has had two tough seasons since 2023 and stands at number 18 in the 2024 Cup Series, with 440 points and zero wins.
