The RCR driver Kyle Busch and his wife Samantha Busch recently went to Las Vegas for the weekend and attended an F1 race. Along with that, the couple went to a party with their friends in a club before the race began, and Samantha shared some pictures on her Instagram story.
Samantha Busch dazzled everyone with her green chic outfit paired with shining silver boots to stand out in the crowd. While Busch wore a light brown jacket with his black outfit. On the other hand, one of their friends went for a cowboy-themed look. He wore a cowboy hat and a grey checkered coat, pairing it with black trousers. Samantha's friend wore a black coat with a one-piece dress of the same color and light grey boots.
Kyle Busch and Samantha attended the Las Vegas Grand Prix held on November 24, 2024; Mercedes driver George Russell won the race, and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won his fourth World Championship. He was the only driver in the standings to cross the 400-point mark. McLaren driver Lando Norris was the runner-up with 340 points.
The NASCAR Cup Series driver had an "unforgettable" time attending the F1 race and wrote:
"Had an unforgettable weekend taking in the F1 race! Always cool getting to experience this side of motorsports. Now headed to Cali to race the Midget!🏎️"
After struggling for a win in the 2024 Cup Series season, Kyle Busch is gearing up for his debut in the 39th Chili Bowl Midget Nationals next year in January.
"Hopefully I don't embarrass myself": Kyle Busch on trying midget cars for the first time
With just a month left in Kyle Busch's debut in the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, he recently ran a few laps in a midget car. As a rookie, Busch didn't want him to get embarrassed while driving the #51 midget car for the first time.
The two-time Cup Series champion drives the #8 Chevy Camaro ZL1 for Richard Childress Racing. After having the "toughest year" of his career, breaking his 19-year streak of not going winless in a season, he announced that he would race in the Chili Bowl Nationals scheduled for January 2025.
In an X post shared by FloRacing, Kyle Bush expressed his thoughts on driving a midget car for the first time:
“Here at Rockfish, North Carolina today to get my first chance of testing in a midget. Never driven a midget before so first time for everything, I guess,” Kyle Busch said. “Hopefully, I don’t embarrass myself.”
After running a few laps, Busch was asked about his experience, and he pointed out that the car is not that different than "micro stuff." He added that the car is going faster and the rpm range is lower. He ended his first session on a positive note and got comfortable with the car.
Kyle Busch showcased his gratitude to his sponsor for the Chili Bowl Nationals and wrote:
“Appreciate Lucas Oil and FloRacing for the opportunity to go out to Chili Bowl and we’ll run a few times before that so can’t wait.”
The Chili Bowl Nationals will be held at SageNet Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from January 13 to 18. But before his big debut in the series, Busch will compete in the USAC National Midget at Bakersfield Speedway, scheduled for November 26, 2024.
