Kyle Busch’s recent decision to sell Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) to Spire Motorsports for $14.5 million marked a seismic shift in his career. For over a decade, KBM wasn’t just a Truck Series powerhouse; it was a personal project tied to his dream of paving a path for his son, Brexton, in NASCAR.
But in a surprising twist, Kyle has traded the comfort of KBM ownership for a bold and unexpected vision for Brexton’s future—one that involves more than just mentorship. It’s a plan that could redefine their bond and bring them head-to-head on the dirt track.
In a candid interview with Clinton Boyles, Kyle dropped a revelation that left fans buzzing. Asked about winning the prestigious Golden Driller, Kyle didn’t just dream of Brexton clinching it. He hinted at something even more dramatic—a father-son showdown.
“Maybe one of these days, either A-Class or Outlaw, I’ll be running with him,” he said. “Me and him together, beating doors for a win. Who knows? That’d be really cool.” This is more than just a racing goal; it’s a shared journey that Kyle envisions—a chance to compete side-by-side and create unforgettable memories.
This isn’t the first time Kyle has shown his competitive side when it comes to Brexton’s burgeoning career. At just nine years old, Brexton has already claimed over 30 victories across Outlaw Karts, Bandoleros, and Restricted Micros, proving he’s a prodigy in his own right.
His crowning achievement came at the Tulsa Shootout, where he led all 20 laps of the Junior Sprint A-Main to clinch the Golden Driller trophy, outperforming nearly 1,800 competitors. Watching Brexton achieve such a milestone left Kyle beaming with pride. “Biggest moment of his career, and he drove a perfect race,” Kyle said.
Yet, Kyle isn’t content to be just a proud spectator. He’s actively mapping out Brexton’s racing trajectory, blending dirt and asphalt training to sharpen his son’s versatility. From competing in Legend Cars to eventually entering the Craftsman Truck Series, Kyle has a carefully planned roadmap. And the ultimate goal? A shared racing season where the two split truck duties—Kyle tackling the big tracks while Brexton handles the smaller ones.
For Kyle Busch, this vision isn’t just about fostering Brexton’s success; it’s about sharing the adrenaline, the challenges, and the triumphs of racing. A father-son rivalry on the dirt track? That’s the kind of legacy dreams are made of.
