NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Busch has been keeping a close eye on his son’s progress for a while now. Brexton Busch has been participating in the junior ranks this day. He also happens to be quite successful in his class with multiple names to his name. After all, he gets to learn from the best. As of now, both the father and son duo get a rare opportunity to race in the same event. The Lucas Oil Tulsa Shootout is underway and both Kyle and Brexton are taking part in it.

Busch recently took to Twitter to post a video of his son strapping up in the car. Getting ready for the race ahead. The video was captioned with seven words; “That time of yr w my boy @brextonbusch.” While the duo is participating in the same event, that does not mean they would be racing in the same class.
That would be a bit unfair for the youngsters out on track. Instead, the Richard Childress Racing driver is participating in the winged outlaw class. Meanwhile, his son, Brexton is racing in the Junior sprint class.

One fan noted how one day, Brexton would grow up and start beating his dad in races. The more we think about it, the more it seems like it could be a possibility. One fine day, Kyle would have to retire from racing and then his son would take the Busch name forward.

Where we see him battling for the lead during the final lap during the final restart of the Junior Heats class.
