During NASCAR's visit to Michigan International Speedway, Kyle Busch's wife, Samantha, turned heads with a striking outfit inspired by the black and white checkered flag flown at the end of a race. Heading into the final stretch of the regular season, the Cup Series visited Brooklyn, Michigan, for the FireKeepers Casino 400 race.

While Sunday's race was halted by rain before drivers could take the checkered flag, Samantha Busch made a stylish statement with her checkered flag-inspired outfit.

The 38-year-old shared pictures of her race-day outfit on Instagram, where she could be seen wearing a black and white checkered maxi skirt, paired with a Dior belt, black top, and a white shirt.

Kyle Busch lined up 13th on the grid for Sunday's race and was classified sixth at the end of the first stage. However, the race was red-flagged on lap 51 with the remainder of the event postponed to Monday due to the inclement weather conditions.

The following day, Busch started on the front row and quickly surged ahead of Chase Elliott to take the lead. After leading a few laps, he dropped back to fifth but capitalized on a timely caution to win the second stage, marking his first stage victory of the 2024 season. He finished fourth at the checkered flag.
