With the 2021 NASCAR Cup season wrapped up, many drivers are enjoying the small break before the next season. Among them is Kyle Busch, who was busy vacationing with his family. Recently, Busch and his family visited a beach and had a pretty good time. Over there, he and his wife Samantha, pretended that their son Brexton was a fish and ‘caught’ him.

As per Samantha’s social media, their vacation will last for a week. So it is quite possible that once they return, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver will be hard at work preparing for the 2022 Cup season. The new season is important for him and everyone else because of the introduction of the Next Gen cars.

Admittedly, Kyle Busch will want to return to winning ways and mount a proper challenge for the title. In 2021, he sadly missed out on a Championship 4 berth, with Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr advancing. Now, the #18 driver will be actively seeking redemption and a chance to equal history.

Heading into the new year and the new season, Kyle Busch is on the verge of equalling Richard Petty’s record. To be precise, the former 7-time NASCAR Cup Series champion went 18 consecutive seasons with at least one win. All that Busch needs to do is notch up a few wins across the next two seasons to break that record.

Of course, he will be aiming for the bigger prize, which is the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series title. For obvious reasons, the path to that prize will not be easy, as there are so many strong contenders. The biggest threats will be the Hendrick Motorsports drivers, who have won the last two titles. Busch will also be wary of his own teammates like Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr.
