Talking about her experience, Samantha Busch said:

“So, we’re venturing out to Tennessee, but we were like, what else can we do on a national scale? And so, we were very blessed that uh, Richard Childress, his team owner, has a lot of connections in politics. That was the first time we’ve ever been exposed to anything. And every time we had the opportunity to meet somebody, I would kind of like word vomit. I knew I had a minute.”

“I got called to go 48 hours before, and they passed the bill and wanted me to come there and kind of just speak and be a face for the women in the infertility community. And that was just such an honor.”

She met President Trump, who announced expanded access and affordability measures for the IVF process. He used that occasion to highlight the policy actions that will reduce the cost of fertility treatments and encourage more employer coverage.

Samantha Busch has been very active in the community when it comes to helping couples with IVF. An average IVF procedure costs nearly $20,000, which is a lot. Due to her Bundle of Joy fund, a number of couples were able to get the chance to go through IVF and realize their dream of having a child.

Kyle and Samantha Busch reveal the most important lesson for Brexton

For Kyle Busch, his journey wasn’t as easy as that of some other drivers. He did not have a racing pedigree or a motorsports background to support his journey. His parents were blue-collar workers who had to sacrifice and work hard for Kyle Busch to reach where he is. It was incredibly difficult for him to find sponsors en route to the Cup Series.

As such, even though their Brexton Busch has all the funding and equipment necessary for a good racing future, they are still trying to keep him grounded.

“My dad worked in construction. My mom was a nurse. We didn’t grow up like this. Kyle had to work so hard for sponsors and all that, and so we want Brexton to understand the importance of hard work,” said Samantha.

So we make him go to the shop, and we’re like, ‘Clean your tires, vacuum out the hauler, like you’re going to help your guys.’ And so, I think that’s one thing that we’re instilling.”

And their method seems to be working quite well. They go on to reveal an incident that proved that Brexton Busch was not going to behave in a privileged manner when he grew up.

He picked the kid up. He took the kid back to his mom in his trailer and made sure he was okay. And to me, I was like, that is one of the proudest moments as a mom because I was like, without anybody watching, you went back and did the right thing.”
