Samantha Busch Shares Beautiful “Signs” She Received From Kyle After His Death
on Jun 17, 2026
In the midst of her unimaginable grief, Samantha Busch has witnessed some remarkable things that she believes are “signs” from her late husband, Kyle.
NASCAR champion Kyle Busch died on May 21st at the age of 41. His death certificate revealed that his death was caused by pneumonia that eventually progressed into a case of sepsis.
Kyle’s survivors include Samantha, whom he married on New Year’s Eve in 2010, and their two children, Brexton and Lennix.
At the Coca-Cola 600 on May 24th, NASCAR CEO Steve O’Donnell led a tribute to Kyle Busch. Samantha, Brexton, and Lennix stood next to O’Donnell as he proclaimed they would be “NASCAR family forever.”
Samantha has since shared a couple of posts on social media thanking people for their support during this devastating time. She also revealed the promise she made to Kyle before he died, which was, “I would do everything I could to help our children pursue their dreams no matter what.”
More recently, on June 16th, Samantha Busch shared an emotional post about two beautiful “signs” that she received from Kyle after his passing.
Her post opened with a photo of a pair of sandals on a bathroom floor, with a vibrant rainbow lying over them. On the next slide, Samantha explained that those were Kyle’s sandals, which he left in that spot a few days before he died, following their son Brexton’s birthday party.
Samantha hasn’t had the heart to move the shoes since Kyle died. One morning, after being up all night crying, she walked into the bathroom and saw the rainbow over his sandals.
“I literally laid down on them and felt a bit of peace, like he was giving me a sign,” she wrote.
Samantha acknowledged that she knew why that happened “scientifically,” as the sunlight shone through the bathroom chandelier, creating a rainbow on the ground.
Still, Samantha said that in their 10 years of living in that house, she had never seen the chandelier make a rainbow like that. It was something she truly couldn’t explain…
Samantha Busch Shares The Second “Sign” That Came From Kyle After His Death
Samantha Busch received a second sign from Kyle at church. Kyle’s memorial service had just been held in the same church a few days prior, on June 2nd.
While sitting in church, Samantha noticed that a bird was flying around. “At one point, it flew over to where I was sitting, tilted its head sideways, looked right at me, and then flew away,” she said.
Later, the bird was next to Samantha’s feet, chirping and hopping around while the congregation prayed. She noted how this was the first time a bird had ever been in their church.
“Standing in the same church where we said goodbye to Kyle a few days earlier, and carrying a grief that still doesn’t feel real most days, it felt like more than a coincidence to me,” Samantha wrote.
She continued, “It feels like God is reminding me that I am not alone, and that Kyle is letting me know that he’s okay, that he’s close, and that somehow he’s still walking beside us.”
