"Home is wherever I am with you,": Samantha Busch penned down a heartfelt note after the end of 2024 NASCAR season
Kyle Busch and Samantha, the power couple of the NASCAR series, shared reflected on their rollercoaster year after the final NASCAR race at Phoenix Raceway.
Having known each other since 2007, the couple has had their fair share of ups and downs, building a strong relationship. From managing health problems, and injuries, to managing hectic racing schedules and victories.
In a recent post on Instagram, Samantha Busch reflected on this year's racing season and wrote:
"People always ask how we handle being on the road most of the year between Kyle and Brexton’s races. The truth is, every track, every town, and every season brings its own magic and memories. From long days at Milbridge to moments that remind us why we love this life, it’s all about being together. The 2024 season in photos — because home is wherever I am with you all. ❤️"
On the other hand, the #8 Chevy driver of RCR had an underwhelming season as he stood winless for the first time in his full-time career. Busch also penned a note to his 2024 NASCAR season and said:
"Arguably the toughest year of my career. Full of trials, n heartbreaks. I know my RCR guys r gonna get after it this winter n we’ll come back stronger nxt season. Grateful for all of our partners, helping us do what we love. Thx Rowdy Nation for sticking w me. Y’all r the best.💯"
Busch is next set to compete in a few races later this month at Bakersfield Speedway and Ventura Raceway. He will make his Chili Bowl Nationals debut during the 39th edition of the event in January, 2025.
