Christmas celebrations took on racing proportions in the Busch household. Naturally, of course. Kyle Busch’s wife Samantha has posted a video on social media, showcasing the gift Santa Claus gave to the couple’s youngest, Lennix Busch.

“Santa brought Lennix quite the gift,” she captioned the clip which showcased her daughter walking into the frame wearing a pink firesuit bearing the initials KBM her dad’s former NASCAR team, Kyle Busch Motorsports.

The firesuit had a leopard print detail on its side too. Lennix’s look was complete with driving shoes. She seemed ready to go racing, and said it as well.

“What are you going to do now that you’re dressed up?” asked Samantha as Lennix spun around to show her new firesuit to her mother. The 2-year-old answered cutely: “Race, run my go-kart!”

Stock car racing fans reacted to the moment expectantly, with several finding the exchange charming.

“Cuteness overload, absolutely adorable,” wrote one fan. “100% percent cuteness,” reacted another. “So cute!!!!” chimed in yet another follower.

“Where’d the baby go??? She’s getting so big. Such a cutie,” said one fan, pointing out that time seems to be flying. “How stinking cute is this. Good luck mom keeping up with both young racers and your husband,” wrote another.

This is not the first time Lennix has won over fans with her adorable antics. In November this year, she had a beautiful exchange with Chase Elliott that went viral as well.

When Lennix seemingly had a crush on Elliott

Few drivers come close to Hendrick Motorsports’ Elliott when it comes to popularity. And he seems to have charmed the youngest member of the Busch household too.

In a video posted by her mother Samantha, Kyle’s daughter had revealed the #9 Chevrolet Camaro driver as her boyfriend.

“Lennix, who is your boyfriend?” asked Samantha in the video, to which she adorably replied, “Chase Elliott.”

The HMS driver followed up with an adorable reply of his own. “I was made aware of that. Crazy, because I don’t think I’ve ever met her. She obviously has a lot of personality and it’s really cool to see,” Chase said in an interview.

Adorable exchanges such as these to keep NASCAR connected with the fanbase at a personal and familial level. It is one of the reasons why stock car racing has the cult following that it has today.
