Kyle Busch seems to have taken a drastic drop in performance. Last year he had three wins by the first half and this season he has nil! The two-time Cup Champion has not managed to yet make it to the playoffs. And this season, he is being on the news for all the wrong reasons. Whether it’s an unwarranted brawl with Ricky Stenhouse Jr or an unfortunate scuffle with Ross Chastain at Sonoma, he had his fair share of moments he’d probably like to forget.
The pressure of such incidents can drag anyone down, and it almost seemed like Rowdy had lost his smile. But as they say, when times are tough, family becomes a beacon of hope. For Kyle Busch, this seems to be the case.

While Kyle Busch is fast approaching his 40s and possibly considering retirement already, his son is young and ready to take his place. Brexton Locke Busch has had the racing pedigree from his two-time cup champion dad and that’s clearly visible in his performances.
He recently picked up his victory on Box Stock. And Kyle Busch posted a heartfelt video of him celebrating his son’s win. He captioned the post, “Victory Shower!🏆💦🤣 A Win and Hard Charger last night for B-Rex, starting to heat up!🔥👏🏻”
What caught people’s attention was the wide side-to-side grin of Kyle Busch. He was brimming with a fatherly love and at that moment all his worries seemed to have subsided. Playfully, he pranked his son, inviting him to hold what appeared to be his victorious cup, only to douse him with water when he approached.

In the video, Kyle Busch could be seen in his casual outfit, just there, supporting his son and celebrating with him, his special moment. Brexton(9) started racing in 2020. Since then, he has been following in his father’s footsteps. From sim racing to using his time off on track – racing and improving his skills, he is doing it all. And his efforts quickly started to show results. Last year, he had 30 wins in various racing disciplines like Outlaw Karts, Restricted Micros, and others.
After his latest victory, Brexton posted a picture of him holding the cup surrounded by family, captioned- “Winner, Winner!!🏆 Went from 6th to 1st to score the victory in Box Stock! Then from the B-Main, I passed 6 cars to be the Hard Charger and place 7th in Jr Wing! I was super aggressive, passing 14 cars in feature races!💪🏻” Fans are thrilled for Brexton, but even more so for Kyle Busch and they have not hesitated to express themselves under the post.
Fans rally behind Busch, spurring him on to success

Kyle Busch is no stranger to winning races. And although he might be facing difficulty in making it this year, maybe it’s just not his year. But a comeback is always possible. One user said, “Congrats!! Now use this momentum and get yourself in victory lane!” Families can help people cross the toughest finish lines. For example, when Dale Earnhardt Jr struggled with concussions, the unwavering support from his family played a crucial role in his recovery.
Busch has had a couple of rough weeks. He crashed in Gateway; he crashed at a tire-testing becoming a talk for the entire NASCAR community and that must hurt. He looked sad and fans did notice it. One fan, looking at the happy face of Busch celebrating with his son said, “Glad to see some smiles on the old man’s face.”
He is just shy of turning forty and sometimes age catches up to you. It did catch up with even a legend like Jimmie Johnson. Who even after winning seven championships had to exit in dismay. But that isn’t the end, and living life happily is what matters. And Busch carried on what his father started and now he has his son to do that too. One fan said, “Always a good day seeing KFB smilin” urging the star to keep smiling.

After Kyle Busch dropped an entire trophy filled with water on his son. Brexton asked —who filled it? And Busch uttered a white lie, saying it was his sister. One X user pointed that out and was all smiles. He said, “It wasn’t me.. it was your sister 😂😂😂”
Kyle Busch might be having a bad week, a terrible season, but it’s not the end. He has had winless streaks before and he overcame that. So this is not impossible. What do you think?
