NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Busch’s wife, Samantha, recently shared a post-Bandoleros race win picture of their nine-year-old son, Brexton. Busch and Samantha have been married for over 14 years and are parents to two kids. Their younger daughter Lennix was born in 2022.

Samantha posted a picture of Brexton celebrating with his little sister, Lennix, following his win in the No.18B at Wake County Speedway, North Carolina.

"The way they love each other," Samantha wrote on X.

"He's already pulling himself back" - Kyle Busch shares Brexton's maturity over his dad

Kyle Busch and his son, Brexton, raced against each other for the first time at Millbridge Speedway last month. The father-son duo also raced alongside at the Chili Bowl Nationals this year.

When NASCAR veteran reporter Claire B Lang asked Busch about the aggressive racing by young NASCAR Xfinity drivers at last week's race at Martinsville, he pointed out that Brexton already races smart and avoids crashing into others more than he would like him to.

"Honestly, there's times where I look at Brexton, and he's racing. And I'm like, 'Man, you could've turned it in there, you know.' He’s like, 'Dad if I spin the guy out, I gotta go to the back.' So he's already pulling himself back more than I'd actually like him to," Kyle Busch said (01:00).

Busch also explained that many kids grow up racing full speed and doing anything to win. He believes that by ages 9-12, they need to learn to slow down, use brakes and race with respect.

"When these kids start racing, it’s wide open... short-cut the corner, slam that other kid, knock him out of the way, beat him. You know, that’s just how they grow up learning from 5, 6, 7 years old. So once you get into the classes now, that Brexton's getting into, which is like 9, 10, 12 years old, that’s when you have to lift off the throttle, use the brake and try not to run over those guys that you’re around," Busch added.
