“Why did you let him pass?”: Samantha Busch shares mirthful response on Kyle Busch being asked if she had ever spotted the 2x NASCAR champion

NASCAR driver Kyle Busch’s wife, Samantha Busch, playfully responded to her husband’s comments on her spotting skills. The pair are one of the most popular couples in the NASCAR circuit.

Two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, who pilots the #8 for Richard Childress Racing, is one of NASCAR's most accomplished drivers. Busch has 231 career victories, including 63 in the Cup Series, placing him ninth on the all-time list. The #6 driver also holds an Xfinity Series championship and holds the all-time win records in both the Xfinity and Truck Series, further cementing his status as one of the sport's greatest drivers.

Recently, Kyle was asked whether his wife Samantha Busch had ever spotted for him in a competitive race. Responding to that question, he said (via @rcrracing on Instagram)

"No, she's never spotted for me. She's only been on the radio a few times when Brexton's been racing[...]When we're on the road though, like driving down the highway or whatever and I'm in my Chevy Tahoe going here to there. If there's like a weird angled stop sign and I can't see, I'll have her tell me like 'Hey, am I clear? Am I not clear?' So she'll tell me in those aspects[...] I'm not putting her on the radio though."

Sharing the post on her story, Samantha jokingly responded to the former NASCAR champion's comments, saying she's 'not cut out for it'. She wrote:

"My rights and lefts are questionable so prob not cut out for it and would prob be back seat driving him the whole time. 'Why did you let him pass? Were you close enough on the restart? Are you sure that's the restart lane you want to choose? I.m not sure I think we should pit.'"

"I am taking courses right now to get certified as an infertility coach and after that, I'd like to do some further education definitely on like cortisol healing and things with miscarriage and whatnot, but one big goal of mine is that I would love to work with clinics and hospitals and other groups and really just help educate those that work there, how to really have the emotional space for patients," she said.
