Kyle Busch's better-half decodes 'traffic was crazy' excuse in comical reel

Samantha Busch, wife of two-time NASCAR champion Kyle Busch, shared a hilarious Instagram reel exposing her go-to excuse for being late. Samantha is a social media influencer who often shares posts about beauty, fashion and her family life with an audience of over 270K followers.

Kyle and Samantha started dating in 2008 after meeting in a promotional event for NASCAR. Two years later, they got married on New Year's Eve in Chicago. The couple are proud parents to two children, Brexton Locke Busch, born in 2015 and Lennix-Key Busch, born in 2022.

On Monday, May 12, Samantha posted a playful Instagram reel capturing the reasons why she's usually late. The short clip's subtext read:

"I'm so sorry i'm late, the traffic was crazy!"

Samantha revealed how "traffic" was just code for the time it takes for her to get ready. She played it off with a cheeky caption that read:

"Although the traffic didn’t help 😉🙄"

Samantha recently shared another hilarious reel, roasting Kyle Busch for not returning her calls.

On the racing front, the Richard Childress Racing driver finished in 21st at Kansas Speedway. The result came after contact with Noah Gragson forced him off-track in the final stage, leaving him a lap behind the lead pack. Consequently, the 40-year-old posted his eighth finish outiside the top-10 on 1.5 mile tracks.
