The Busch family name has long been associated with speed, from Kurt Busch’s 2004 NASCAR Cup Series championship to Kyle Busch’s dominance across all three national series. Now, the next generation is stepping into the spotlight with Kyle’s 9-year-old son, Brexton Busch, proving that racing talent runs deep in the family.
Brexton’s rising career has been marked by impressive performances, including his victory at the Tulsa Shootout, where he won the prestigious Golden Driller in the Junior A-mains event. Year after year, he continues to progress through the ranks of youth racing, showing promise for a bright future. From dirt tracks to late model cars, the young driver is already making an impact, impressing fans and family alike.
His mother, Samantha Busch, is among his biggest supporters. During a recent practice session at Caraway Speedway for the NASCAR Regionals, Brexton’s skills left her completely amazed. She shared her reaction on Instagram, expressing both pride and astonishment, writing, “I’m a mix of completely proud and jaw dropped that at 9 he does this.” Along with her excitement, she humorously acknowledged her nerves with emojis.
Brexton’s career took off in 2020 when he began racing at just five years old. Within a month, he secured his first victory at Mountain Creek Speedway. He went on to win multiple championships, including the Saturday Millbridge Beginner Box and the Mountain Creek Beginner Box in 2022. In 2023, he added another title by clinching the Tuesday Night Beginner Box championship at Millbridge. These achievements highlight his rapid rise in the racing world.
With such an impressive start, many wonder if a family showdown is on the horizon. Kyle Busch playfully hinted at a potential father-son race, tweeting, “Brex and I will be going head to head before ya know it.” Kurt Busch also chimed in, responding, “I’m on my way,” fueling speculation about a thrilling family competition in 2025.
Meanwhile, Brexton’s younger sister, Lennix Busch, might also be on track to continue the family legacy. At just two and a half years old, she’s already showing an interest in racing. Samantha frequently shares glimpses of Lennix’s enthusiasm, including a video of her confidently driving a toy car with the caption, “This girl is all gas, no brakes.” Another memorable moment featured Lennix taking her first laps at Millbridge Speedway, with Samantha joking that they might have another racer in the family.
Though she’s still young, Lennix’s early interest in racing has fans wondering if she’ll eventually follow in her brother’s footsteps—or even challenge him one day. With both Brexton and Lennix showing a passion for the sport, the Busch family’s racing tradition appears to be in good hands for the next generation.
