Brexton Busch, the son of two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, is already forging a diverse racing career at just 10 years old. After getting an early start in Go-Karts, Bandoleros, and Micro Sprints, Brexton’s journey is now set to expand across several competitive platforms—on both dirt and pavement.

As Brexton approaches a new milestone in his young career, Kyle Busch shared insight into his son’s development and future goals while appearing on Denny Hamlin’s Actions Detrimental podcast earlier this week. 

“I don’t think there is a right path,” Kyle said, describing the exploratory approach the Busch family is taking toward Brexton’s racing future.

This week marks a significant moment: Brexton turned 10 on Sunday, meeting the minimum age required to race in a Legend Car. He will make his debut on May 22 during an INEX Legends National Qualifier at Hickory Motor Speedway. 

“He’s getting more into the Legend Car right now as well,” Kyle explained. “He turns 10, he can’t race a Legend Car until he turns 10. That’s this week. He’ll actually race his Legend Car debut [this week] at Hickory. There’s a lot more race track around our area for Legends Cars, pavement racing.”

But the long-term plan goes far beyond pavement ovals. Kyle is carefully balancing Brexton’s exposure to both dirt and asphalt racing, with a progression that includes Late Models in just a couple of years. 

“When he turns 12 it will be Late Model stuff, getting him into Dirt Late Models and getting him into Pavement Late Models,” Kyle said. “I’d like to keep him on both, just learning that sense of all the different vehicles that you can drive. Don’t stay in anything too long, then you learn those bad habits that keep you good at that but doesn’t allow you to keep your mind open and fresh to new things.”

As Brexton grows in experience and capability, his schedule will likely intensify. 

“When he turns 13 or 14, I believe he’s then old enough for like the Super Late Models [on pavement] or like the World of Outlaws Late Model tour or Lucas Oil Late Model tour for the dirt world,” Kyle added, signaling Brexton’s future potential in some of the most competitive late model racing series in the country.

Kyle Busch also drew inspiration from another dirt track phenom when thinking about Brexton’s versatility and future path. 

“I just look at Kyle, tiny Kyle [Larson]. I just look at the things that he can do on dirt any given time. He can go run NASCAR on Sunday and go run a Sprint Car on Monday and win in it.”

With such a flexible and ambitious roadmap ahead, Brexton Busch’s development is a blend of patience, diversity, and high-level competition. Whether it’s Legend Cars, Late Models, or a path that one day mirrors the versatile dominance of someone like Kyle Larson, Brexton is on track for an exciting motorsports future.
