We gonna see Kyle in the Viagra car soon too?
Any NASCAR fan is probably familiar with Mark Martin and his iconic #6 Viagra paint scheme from the early 2000s. It was often the butt of jokes, but there’s no doubt that it was one of the most recognizable cars in the NASCAR Cup Series from that era. I mean, we’re still talking about it today, and it’s been over a decade…
But now it seems that Mark Martin isn’t the only NASCAR driver who’s landed a sponsor that will help improve their performance…in the bedroom.
Kyle Busch and his wife, Samantha Busch, recently teamed up for a commercial for Gameday Men’s Health, a nationwide chain of testosterone and erectile dysfunction clinics.
In the ad, Kyle jokes about the “race” he won last night, with his wife informing him that it’s “a race that you do NOT want to finish first.” She recommends a “tune-up” for some adjustments, and the couple then head off to Gameday.
After a quick “pit stop,” Kyle comes out ready to roll, with his wife eager to…well, take him for a ride.
The commercial quickly went viral – and drew plenty of jokes about Kyle’s sex life and his performance on the track:
And there were also quite a few people ready to see him in the Viagra car next:
Oh, and of course there were plenty of racing puns thrown in there too:
“YIKES! Looks like he is getting ready to check her rear end housing.”
“Kyle Busch likes those “come from behind” wins. Rubbin’ is racin’…”
“Oil check!”
“Driving for the Wood brothers are ya?”
Regardless, it gives a whole new meaning to Kyle’s nickname: Kyle F—ing Busch.
Kyle and his wife Samantha have always been incredibly open about their personal life, including their struggles with infertility.
The couple founded the Bundle of Joy Fund, which helps couples who want to grow their family but are faced with the financial and emotional struggles of conceiving through IVF, which is something near and dear to their hearts as they used IVF to conceive their children.
In a 2022 conversation with The Charlotte Observer, Samantha Busch discussed some of the struggles that the couple went through:
“We tried to have children naturally for quite a while, and it wasn’t working. So, ultimately, we had to go through the route of IVF. In going through that, we realized it’s not only a physical and emotional struggle, but the financial hurdles are also crazy — and things add up so fast, and insurance doesn’t cover any of it.”
The mission of the Bundle of Joy fund is to help couples who face struggles similar to Busch’s.
“The Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund is dedicated to advocating for infertility education and awareness and removing financial barriers by granting monetary awards to couples who require fertility treatments to have their own bundle of joy.”
Since founding their fund, Kyle and Samantha have helped welcome 96 babies into the world. And earlier this year, Samantha took to Instagram to emotionally share some news that will improve the trajectory of their work after President Trump signed an executive order that will require insurance companies to help pay for IVF.
“You guys, it’s happening! I’m not sure if you saw the post, but the President just signed an executive order to help insurance companies pay for IVF.
I can’t tell you over the last decade how many essays I’ve read from deserving couples, hard-working families who wanted nothing more than to be parents. But finances stood in their way. We’ve tried so hard to fund as many people as we can, but we are just a small foundation, and we knew we could never cover everybody…”
In a video, Samantha tearily explains how much this executive order means to her. In her caption, she expands on the financial burden it is to go through IVF.
“I’m in tears writing this—today is monumental for families struggling with infertility. Thank you President Trump for signing an executive order to expand access for IVF, making it more affordable for American families!
After years of fighting, advocating, and sharing my IVF journey, seeing this executive order signed to protect and make fertility treatments more affordable is overwhelming.
Over the years at the Bundle of Joy Fund, we’ve read countless essays from individuals who have had to mortgage their homes, work multiple jobs, and go into debt—just for a chance to have a baby. With the average cost of IVF at $20,000 per cycle and no guarantee of success, the financial burden has been devastating. And with 1 in 6 couples facing infertility, access to care shouldn’t be a privilege—it’s a necessity.
Today is a step forward. Finally, families will have the coverage they so rightly deserve. Thank you again, Mr. President.”
