Sports Illustrated is a sporting magazine. With less to cover in the winter months, over 50 years ago, an idea was created. Editor Andre Laguerre came up with the idea to create a Swimsuit edition of the magazine for the Winter months.
Now, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is believe to bring in $35 million in revenue, according to 2005 numbers.
Since 1964, the SI Swimsuit Edited has been posted every February. Since 2019, the issue was pushed to May.
The 2020 issue was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was later released on July 13, 2020.
Ashley Busch and Kurt Busch were married back in 2017. Kurt Busch is currently in the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs.

“I started playing Polo when I was 11 years old. I was one of the only girls out on the field, which was intimidating but also incredibly exhilarating at the same time,” Ashley Busch opened in the social media video.
“Throughout the years, I have made it my goal to bring awareness to the sport of Polo. And show women that they can exceed in any career or sport they choose. Even if it’s male dominated.”
“I’ve always admired how the Sports Illustrated Swim Edition highlights athletes. Showcasing how we can be both strong and sexy, at the same time.”
“It would be an honor to join the legendary women who have graced the pages. And once again showcase, how with determination and hard work, a woman can truly do whatever she sets her mind to.”
