While it boils down to the result in any competition, victory, and defeat are just 2 faces of a coin in the sports world. The result of any competition is itself a significant part of the competition. But above all, it’s not just the victory you’re pursuing, but the journey itself teaches you a lot in life as NASCAR’s “bad boy” Kyle Busch recently had a hard way letting the little racer in the family know about “effort” and what the word stands for beyond its definition.
Ahead of the much-awaited Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Richard Childress Racing driver, Kyle Busch had to give his son, Brexton a masterclass on the important aspect of life, which is the undying spirit of competition.
Rowdy also revealed the frustrating part about it all, yet he acknowledged the meaning of hard work that needs to be inculcated into the psyche of any sports person.

Kyle Busch Reveals the Subtle Yet Stern Trick That Got Brexton Back on the Right Track
Despite his recent slump at the returning North Wilkesboro, Kyle Busch had to take on the role of a stern father as he showed his son what it means to be a full-time racer. While he encountered bad luck and a poorly set up car for his NWB outing, his son, on the other hand, was reminded about hard work and effort.
Not limited to the wins and losses inside the oval, Busch taught his son about a significant aspect of life called effort. Reflecting on Brexton’s recent race at Millbridge Busch said, “Earlier this year at Millbridge I think it was race number 2 or 3 he didn’t try very hard though, you know the word ‘effort’ and ‘try’ we’re working on the definition of what that means and he didn’t do a good job.”
Busch became the stern dad and took away his iPad, he said, “He didn’t do a good job and he got his iPad taken away for 2 weeks and then he went back out the next week and he asked he goes, can I have my iPad back and I said you could go earn it back tonight and he goes out there and he wins the race so he gets his iPad back so.”
With Brexton now back to his winning ways, Busch also revealed the “frustrating” aspect of his son’s career as he reflected on the reality of things. He said, “its kind of frustrating when you go to the track and he doesn’t run to his potential that’s when I get upset but you know he’s also still 8 years old so, we’ve got time.”

At just 8 years of age, Brexton is certainly following in his father’s footsteps. And with his solid start to a racing career, the young racer from the Busch family is already experiencing the ins and out of track life.
A while back, when the father and son took on Talladega, the community saw yet another “like father, like son” moment as Busch’s wife, Samantha Busch, took to her Instagram to mention both the fierce drivers in the family. This led the duo to receive a lot of praise.
Busch himself lauded his son as he wished him all the best ahead of his Quarter Midget race at the iconic venue. The Instagram post that Kyle uploaded had the caption, “Been a fun couple of days w @brextonbusch n the Quarter Midget. Ready to hit the big track tomorrow n go Busch family double duty Sunday.”
