"This week was a lot of learning, and getting a feel for the car in prep for Chili Bowl. Had a good time on the west coast but ready to chill w the fam and celebrate the holidays."

Furthermore, the Las Vegas, Nevada native is set to compete against his son Brexton Busch in the Micro Sprint racing event, the Tulsa Shootout on December 30.
