Kyle Busch on video: 'Progress is going well'

The 29-year-old driver, who suffered a compact fracture to his right lower leg and a mid-foot fracture of his left foot during an accident in the Alert Today Florida 300 XFINITY Series race at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 21, traded soft casts for walking boots on Tuesday. In the video, he is in a wheelchair with Samantha standing by his side.

“I’m doing good — just out and about, trying to get out and get some different sights,” Kyle said. “But also, progress is going well. It just is what it is. It’s going to be the way it is from 2,000 years ago. Bones only heal so fast so we’ve got plenty of things to look forward to though in the next couple months. Baby Busch is on his way.”

The proud father-to-be kisses his wife, who expresses her thanks to fans and the industry for their support.

“I want to thank you guys for all the well wishes and all the social media,” Samantha said. “Me and the little man are doing good too, and we’re having fun taking care of this one, and it’s been a learning experience so we just thank you guys all for your support and your prayers and we’re hanging in there.”
