NASCAR star Kyle Busch has sent wife Samantha a touching and emotional message to celebrate Valentine's Day.

The two-time Cup Series champion is currently preparing for what could prove to be one of the most significant races of his career on Sunday, having taken pole for the 2026 Daytona 500 on Wednesday night.

Busch has never won The Great American Race, and would create NASCAR history in being the first driver to ever win the event after their 20th attempt, if successful tomorrow.

However, on Saturday, he took time out of his busy schedule to publicly display his love for his wife, sharing several pictures of himself and Samantha with a short but sweet caption.

"Happy Valentine’s Day to the bestest wife Samantha Busch," he wrote on Instagram.

"You’re the calm in the chaos, my biggest supporter, and the best mom to our kiddos.

"Life is better and a whole lot more fun with you by my side every day. Love you always MamaCita."
