Samantha Busch, wife of NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, recently made a light-hearted comment about her husband while promoting a travel pillow equipped with acupressure that she uses on her trips. In her post, she mentioned how the pillow helped alleviate stress, detoxify, and reduce back pain during travel.
With nearly 250,000 followers on Instagram, Samantha is a prominent social media influencer who actively promotes various lifestyle products. While she is a strong advocate for IVF babies and supports social causes related to infertility, she also uses her platform to share and promote different products.
In one of her recent Instagram Stories, Samantha highlighted the benefits of the acupressure travel pillow, which she claims helps with stress, inflammation, and sleep quality. She shared how she uses it during her travels as the "passenger princess" while accompanying Kyle Busch. "So let's get into the benefits of this. Um, acupressure is amazing, It helps with inflammation, stress, detoxification, better quality sleep. You name it. You're going to experience it with this."
She then humorously joked about her role as Kyle's passenger during their NASCAR trips. "For me personally, how I like to use it when I'm in the car, I bring this and this, you know, because then I'm going to be the official passenger princess. Why else would you marry a NASCAR driver? Um, no, just kidding, but like going to Martinsville and Bristol, I literally sat my butt on this and had this behind my head because I have really bad back pain," she added.
Samantha's advocate for IVF
In addition to her social media presence, Samantha Busch is a passionate advocate for IVF. Having gone through the process herself, she understands the challenges many couples face, especially the financial burden. To help those struggling with IVF costs, Samantha and Kyle founded the Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund.
Through this fund, they raise money and provide grants to families pursuing IVF treatments. Samantha recently opened up about her experiences with the fund, sharing that the primary obstacle for many couples is the high cost of IVF.
"I have read so many grant applications over the past decade, and the common thread among them is that the high cost of IVF treatments is the hurdle that stands in the way for the 1 in 6 people facing infertility. We are proud of the work we have done and the 101 babies that have been born through the fund, but there is so much more I hope to do in order to help alleviate this burden for individuals longing to become parents."
Busch prohibited
Kyle Busch was prohibited from displaying a cannabis-themed livery on his race car after NASCAR rejected the design. The 2024 season didn't go as expected for Busch, as he missed the NASCAR playoffs for the first time and failed to secure any wins—a first in his full-time Cup Series career.
Although his on-track performance fell short of his usual standards, part of the reason may have been the restriction on featuring the unique 3CHI paint scheme. The cannabis company revealed what the rejected design would have looked like, even though it never appeared on the track.
