In an Instagram reel from June 14th, Kyle Busch's two-year-old daughter Lennix was seen performing donuts in her pink Barbie Corvette. Luckily, Busch was able to stop her little car from spinning out. The little driver recently got an upgrade which her mother, Samantha thinks is a lot safer than her previous ride.

Samantha Busch is the wife of two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch. The couple has been married since 31 December 2010. They welcomed their first child, Brexton Busch, on May 18, 2015. Their youngest child, Lennix, was born on May 11, 2022. The family of four lives in a luxurious estate on the shores of Lake Norman, North Carolina.

Lennix was spotted riding her new gas-powered cart. However, this time, Kyle Busch rode an electric mini-scooter alongside his daughter to prevent further "burnouts".

"Well she blew up her Barbie Corvette with all those burnouts so Lennix got an upgrade!" Samantha captioned the video. "She’s cruising in a gas-powered cart with thankfully a roll cage because as crazy as her and Brexton are she’ll prob need it."
"This one has a gas and brake but she’s got the hang of it already," Samantha further explained. "Just needs a bit more strength to fully push that pedal all the way but truthfully mommas ok with her going slower."

Lennix's dad, Kyle Busch, has not won in over 50 races. For the first time since 2012, the Richard Childress Racing driver is not in the playoffs. He is also on the verge of snapping his record of winning at least one race each season for the last 19 years.

Kyle Busch could follow in the footsteps of Darrell Waltrip and Kevin Harvick

NASCAR drivers usually retire in their forties. Kevin Harvick retired last year at 48 and Martin Truex Jr. will retire at the end of the current season at 44. Kyle Busch is 39 now and could be nearing his retirement.

Although not a full-timer, two-time Xfinity Series champion and NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been running races every year since his retirement in 2017. Busch could do the same after he retires. Still, he would probably need a full-time job.

Busch made several appearances in the NASCAR Inside the Playoffs show not long ago, leaving the racing aficionados wondering if the veteran racer would take up broadcasting. Speaking to The Athletic's Jeff Gluck about the same, Busch said:

"I’m just dipping my toe into this and giving it a shot and seeing what the networks think, what the producers think and everybody behind the scenes to see if I have a voice and an opinion later on down the road."
"I see Harvick doing it, I’ve seen Darrell Waltrip do it and have seen plenty of other ex-drivers go into that role. One really good thing about that is how much you can talk up the drivers and how hard it is and about the things you love," Kyle Busch explained.

As of today, Kyle Busch is 20th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings with 711 points to his name. His next race is at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on October 20 (2:30 PM ET onwards). Fans can watch the race, i.e., the South Point 400, on NBC or listen to radio updates on PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
