In the world of motorsports, few narratives capture the imagination quite like family rivalries. This Wednesday, March 26, 2025, the racing community will witness a unique and heartfelt competition as NASCAR champion Kyle Busch goes head-to-head against his 9-year-old son, Brexton Busch, in an event aptly dubbed the “Battle of the Busch’s.”
The announcement, made by Kyle Busch on his official social media platforms, has sparked considerable excitement among fans and fellow racers alike. In a recent Instagram post, Kyle shared a video of Brexton’s practice session, hinting at the upcoming face-off. The post garnered attention from family members, with Kyle’s brother, Kurt Busch, expressing his enthusiasm by commenting, “I’m on my way! We had a few races of three Busch’s in the 90’s with our dad Tom. Mom was a little stressed to say the least.”
The “Battle of the Busch’s” is set to take place at Millbridge Speedway in Salisbury, North Carolina, a venue known for nurturing young racing talent. This event marks the first time the father-son duo will compete directly against each other, symbolizing a significant milestone in Brexton’s burgeoning racing career.
