One of the standout images shows Samantha standing in the shallow surf holding Lennix in her arms. Both are smiling and reaching their arms out, enjoying the moment. Samantha wore a bright floral swimsuit and sunglasses, while Lennix looked adorable in a white two-piece with frills.
Another photo captured Lennix confidently playing alone in the waves, her face full of joy as the sea washed around her feet. Samantha also posted a close-up selfie, showing off her swimsuit and the peaceful beach behind her. She added the caption “Happiest in the sun,” reflecting the lighthearted mood of the outing.
Kyle and Samantha Busch have been together since 2008 after meeting at a racing event the year before. They got married in 2010 in a ceremony in Chicago. The couple has two children: Brexton Locke, born in 2015, and Lennix Key, born through a surrogate in 2022.
Over the years, Samantha has shared their struggles with infertility, miscarriages, and IVF treatments, leading the couple to start the Bundle of Joy Fund, which helps other families facing similar challenges.
Meanwhile, Busch is going through a rough patch in the NASCAR Cup Series. He hasn’t won a race in over two years. His last victory came in June 2023 at Gateway Motorsports Park. Most recently, his playoff chances took a major blow after a crash in the inaugural Mexico City race.
Officially finishing 37th, Busch left Mexico with just one point, falling 50 points below the playoff cut line.
Kyle Busch Admitted to Making a Rookie Error in Mexico That Caused a Massive Crash
Busch owned up to what he called a “rookie error” after triggering a major crash during Sunday’s Viva México 250 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. The race, held on June 15, started in wet conditions that caused chaos early on.
On lap seven, Busch lost control of his No. 8 RCR Chevrolet going into turn one. Under heavy braking, his car snapped around on the slippery surface. He crashed into Justin Haley’s No. 7, then hit Kyle Larson in the No. 5. AJ Allmendinger, Zane Smith, and Chase Briscoe also got caught up in the trouble at the entry of Turn 1.

Busch was quick to take the blame after the race. He explained to the media that he had underestimated how slippery the wet surface was when trying to brake into turn one.
“Just in the rain, I went down into 11 (marker) and got on the brakes pretty hard, and everything was fine,” Busch said via GP Fans. “Everything was comfortable… so I thought, okay, I can be a little more aggressive this time getting back into [turn] one and went to the 10 marker.”
But when he braked a little later into turn one, he said it felt like the car was “on ice” and he had no control. “For about a second and a half, I was just trying to figure out which direction to go, and then I was like, I’ve got to turn this thing around backwards because I’m going to nail some people… I hate it for all those that were involved in my mishap there,” Busch added.
Busch’s race ended early, and he was officially classified 37th. The crash cost him valuable points as he continues to fight for a playoff spot. With 10 races left in the regular season, he’ll now turn his focus to the next race, the Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway on Sunday, June 22. That race will start at 2:00 p.m. ET.
