Van Metre, 24, is a renowned polo player. The two began dating in November, according to motorsport.com, and became public in February when Van Metre was at Daytona Speedweeks.
Busch is in the midst of one of his best seasons in years. He’s clinched a spot in the 2015 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup by virtue of his two victories; he also has eight top-five finishes and 13 top 10s in 21 starts.
SHR co-owner Tony Stewart said the team hoped to “soon” finalize a new contract with the 37-year-old driver.
