Samantha Busch opened up about potentially having her husband, late NASCAR driver Kyle Busch’s, baby within the event of his death in a resurfaced clip.
Samantha, 39, explained to guest Ashley George during a November 2025 episode of her “Certified Oversharer” podcast that if her husband were to die, she would need to have one other child and name him after Kyle.
Kyle died on Thursday, May 21, after a bout of severe pneumonia resulted in sepsis. He had been preparing to race within the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, May 24, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“Here’s something I’ve never told anybody,” Samantha told George last yr. “I’m a licensed over-sharer. So lots of people ask me what we’ve got done with our embryos because we still have some.”
She continued, “I can’t part with them. We’re paying to freeze them until… they’re going to have to return with me. I don’t know what else to do at this point because I really like them a lot and might’t make a choice.”
After welcoming son Brexton through IVF in 2015 and inspired by their continued fertility journey as they struggled to have one other baby, Kyle and Samantha began their Bundle of Joy Fund, helping families welcome greater than 100 babies via IVF through greater than $2 million in grants. They eventually welcomed daughter Lennix in 2022.
“Kyle was like, ‘We’re done having kids,’ and I said, ‘But what if?’” Samantha added. “I told him essentially the most morbid story the opposite day. I used to be like, ‘What in case you passed? I’d must have one other kid to be connected to you and name that child after you.’”
Kyle, nonetheless, wasn’t having it.
“He was like, ‘What’s improper with you?’ and I used to be like, ‘These are the things I take into consideration Kyle. I really like being a mom and I actually have never told anybody that until I told you.”
Samantha, Brexton and Lennix were all at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday for what was speculated to be Kyle’s next race. NASCAR honored the legendary driver beforehand with a moment of silence and a form message from the speedway’s PA announcer.
“Samantha, I would like you to know that this sport stands with you, and that you simply and your kids are NASCAR family ceaselessly,” the announcer said throughout the ceremony.
He continued, “Brexton and Lennix, your dad loves you with all his heart. Everyone gathered here, everyone behind you, everybody watching on TV, and all those people up in that grandstand are your loved ones, and we’ve got you.”
Daniel Suárez went on to win the Coca-Cola 600, dedicating it to Kyle after the race.
“This weekend, it just means greater than just the race. With all the pieces that has been happening with Kyle,” Suárez, 34, said in an interview with Sports on Prime. “This one really means lots.”
