Kyle Busch explains future of son Brexton's racing career, future in NASCAR

Kyle Busch‘s son Brexton seems to have a big future in racing as he’s winning races regularly. While speaking with Jeff Gluck of The Athletic, Busch revealed what next for his nine-year-old son.

“A lot of different things can happen. That’s what we’ve actually been looking at,” Busch said. “He races in junior sprints and micros and Bandoleros and stuff like that now. When he turns 10, he can run Legend cars — so we’ll add that in next May. And then at 12, you’re allowed to run the CARS Tour Pro Late Models. So he’ll probably get into some of that at 12.

“We also need to get more road racing experience. I don’t feel like he’s got enough road course stuff yet. So we need to do some karting, and we’re going to do some of that this offseason and work with Greg Ives and Max Papis and some of those guys who have done a lot already with their kids. There’s a road racing series, Trans Am TA2, and he’ll probably get into some of that at 14.

Kyle Busch also said Bexton will likely be ready to drive trucks when he turns 16. “He’ll probably also do some Late Model Stock stuff and some Super Late Models at 14,” he explained. “I want to keep him on the dirt and asphalt realm; I don’t feel like you should go one way or the other. I like what we’re doing right now: He gets in his Bandolero car and he knows what he’s got to do on pavement; he gets into his dirt car and he knows what he’s got to do on dirt. So I really like that. We’ll probably stick with some of that mixture. And then by 16, he’ll be ready for some Trucks.”

With the way things are going for Brexton, he will likely have a strong Cup Series career like his father. Things have not gone well for Kyle Busch this year, but the 39-year-old is on his way to the NASCAR Hall of Fame when his career comes to an end. In 706 Cup Series races, Busch has earned 63 wins and 382 top-10 finishes. He is a two-time regular season champion and two-time Cup Series champion.
