Hey, Kyle ... don't show that lobster to Samantha unless it's on her plate
With her 2-month old son in hand and her husband celebrating his third victory in his last four Sprint Cup races, one would naturally expect Samantha Busch to be all smiles in Victory Lane on Sunday.
Instead, photographers attempting to capture Kyle Busch’s triumphant hoist of the traditional lobster following his win at the 5-Hour Energy 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway caught Samantha making quite the stink face.
Take a look for yourself.
It didn’t take long for the good folks at NASCAR to take notice.
Clearly, Samantha Busch (right) doesn't like her lobster huge, alive -- and right in front of her face.
Yeah, the lobster was that big.
FOX Sports’ resident Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip saw the look, and offered up some rather fatherly advice.

Before long, Samantha explained the face, and it certainly was attributed to the monster with the claws and not the reigning monster of NASCAR.

And just to make sure Samantha is content wife and mama, she posted this photo of Kyle and young Brexton during the Sunday night flight home.

At least she doesn’t have to KISS the lobster … if Kyle wins again next weekend at Indy, Samantha will be kissing some bricks.

But with her husband closing in on a Chase spot despite missing the first 11 races of the season following a pair of broken legs to open the season, gotta figure she’ll be more than happy to pucker up.
