Busch: ‘Tried Like Hell,’ But I Can’t Piss Myself in the Car

Kyle Busch and wife Samantha

Kyle Busch says other drivers "piss themselves" all the time during races … but despite his best efforts, he can't join NASCAR's #1 club.

We got Kyle and his smokin' hot wife, Samantha, out at Craig's … and the conversation quickly turned to racing's dirty little secret — peeing in the cockpit!

Busch told TMZ Sports he's "tried like hell" to pull the trigger — races are 3 HOURS long — but he can't bring himself to go full R. Kelly on the track.

But KB says some guys got no problem taking a leak mid-race … and even claims one of his teammates broke the seal BEFORE his race started!

Yeah … Samantha's face says it all.
