Over the years many families such as the Earnhardts, Elliotts, and Waltrips have established themselves as iconic figures in the world of racing. The Busch family is also making a mark, starting with Kurt Busch and Kyle Busch, and now with Kyle’s son Brexton following in their footsteps. This trend of talent passing down from father to son is evident in other examples like Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr, Bill and Chase Elliott, as well as Lee and Richard Petty. It seems that the Busch family is on its way to joining this esteemed list.

Brexton Busch began his racing journey earlier this year but faced some challenges in achieving the desired results. Talking about that, Kyle once shared an incident about Brexton where he took away his iPad for a period of two weeks. When Brexton approached his father to ask for the return of his iPad, Kyle presented him with a challenge. He said he would give it back only when Brexton wins a race. Accepting this challenge, Brexton went out and won the race, and claimed his prize. This incident highlights the determined and competitive spirit that Brexton possesses. Something that his mother is proud of.
