Kyle Busch comments on whether his wife Samantha Busch has ever been a spotter for the former champion

Kyle Busch was recently asked if his wife Samantha has ever spotted for him during a race. Samantha, a NASCAR wife and mother, is known to be an active presence in her husband and their son Brexton's racing careers.

Kyle said Samantha, who has been on the team radio for Brexton's race events as he starts his career in motorsports, has never been on the #8 team radio. In a recent post by @rcrracing on Instagram, Kyle Busch said:

"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."

Meanwhile, Samantha playfully responded to the comments made by her husband, saying she would probably be 'back seat driving him' the whole time.
