"I'm my wife's employee" - $80M-worth Kyle Busch shares heartwarming support for Samantha's boutique venture

Two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and 63-time Cup race winner Kyle Busch and his wife, Samantha, took to social media on Sunday to share a video of the driver helping tidy things up in his wife's boutique. The driver of the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet joked about how he's his wife's employee.

In a video posted on Instagram, the couple informally showed what it's like owning a boutique. In a joint post with her husband, Samantha wrote:

"Teamwork makes the boutique work."

The champion driver is seen cleaning up around the boutique, while a voiceover on the video jokes about working for their wife.

The voiceover is from Steve Treviño, a stand-up comedian who performed a bit about working for his wife. The bit comes from the comic's special entitled I Speak Wife, released in 2022.

"That's all I am. I'm my wife's employee. I work for my wife. She is the boss. I've been fired, but somehow, I still wake up at work. I don't know how that works. I'm afraid to quit. I know she's not going to give me a good reference. I know she's not. She's also in charge of HR, which is bull****."

The $80M worth Cup Series driver (per Celebrity Net Worth) is seen up on a step ladder as his wife hands him jackets to hang up on the highest coat rack in the room. The Las Vegas native is also seen carrying a box from one room to the other, bagging up trash from a trash can, and fitting a dress over a mannequin.

The post sparked a few humorous comments from fans, with one writing:

"Good job Mrs Busch put him to work."

"Kyle’s ready for his post race career- boutique mannequin dresser," commented another.

Kyle Busch winless in 2024

Amid his 20th season of full-time NASCAR Cup Series racing, Kyle Busch has managed to find victory lane at least once in all previous 19. This year, he's winless.

Busch missed the playoffs this season for the first time since 2012. In the final two races of the regular season, he ran runner-up to Harrison Burton at Daytona and Chase Briscoe at Darlington. One spot higher would've given Busch that win in 2024 and a spot in the playoffs.

Busch joined Richard Childress Racing ahead of the 2023 season after 15 years of driving the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. He piloted the No. 8 RCR car to three wins a year ago, including the final race at the Auto Club Speedway in California. This year, Busch has posted five top-fives, one pole, one stage win, and sits 20th in the season standings.
