Brexton Busch, the nine-year-old son of NASCAR superstar Kyle Busch, is quickly making a name for himself in the racing world. While many might expect him to follow in his father’s footsteps, Brexton is not just doing that—he’s dominating the track and making history. In 2024, the young racing prodigy stunned fans and critics alike with his exceptional achievements, leaving everyone buzzing about his future potential.
Despite his age, Brexton’s talent is undeniable. Over the course of the 2024 season, he participated in 134 races, securing 48 wins. His impressive record includes 107 top-five finishes and 126 top-ten finishes. These numbers speak volumes about his skill and determination, setting him apart as one of the most promising young racers in the sport. Among his many accomplishments, Brexton claimed titles such as the KKM Challenge Jr Sprint Champion, Millbridge Restricted Points Champion, PA Speedweek Jr Sprint Champion, and the INEX Winter Nationals Bandit Champion.
Comparisons to his father, two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, are inevitable. Kyle has been an unwavering source of support, not just as a father but as a mentor. The pride he feels watching his son race is evident, as he stated, “Proud is an understatement. Big things happened in 2024, but ready for more in 25! Can start right next week in Tulsa!!” Kyle’s guidance is helping shape Brexton into not only a talented racer but also a great sportsman, as seen in his approach to dealing with losses. Kyle reflected, “He’s doing a way better job at it than I did at his age, that’s for sure.”
Brexton’s achievements in 2024 have captured the attention of fans and the racing community, with supporters praising his maturity and sportsmanship. One fan commented, “Definitely a champion and the way you have raised him to have chores and responsibilities and his kindness… definite champion.” Brexton’s work ethic and maturity are evident, as seen when he lost his debut karting race, only to come back determined to improve through practice and film study.
His 2024 season has sparked conversations about his potential to outdo his father’s accomplishments. Some fans are already predicting that Brexton may one day surpass Kyle, with one saying, “He’s gonna be better than you, and you’re the GOAT!” As Brexton continues to grow and develop, he’s showing the same drive and passion that made his father a racing legend.
Looking ahead, the Busch family’s 2025 calendar is already packed, with Brexton slated to compete in major events like the Tulsa Shootout, where he and Kyle will race together. It’s clear that Brexton’s journey is just beginning, and his future in racing is one that will be closely followed by fans and racing enthusiasts alike.
