Samantha Busch recently shared how her son, Brexton, copes academically amidst a hectic racing schedule. Brexton has followed in his father, two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch's footsteps,
The nine-year-old B-Rex is a third-generation racer who made his mark in racing when he was just five. He currently competes in grassroots racing series such as Box Stock Division, Restricted Micro Competitions, Mini Outlaw Series, and Junior Sprint category.
Given his demanding racing schedule, it's unsurprising that B-Rex's academic performance might be affected. However, his mother, Samantha, has shared her strategies for ensuring a flexible education that accommodates his racing commitments.
In a recent Instagram post, the wife of the Richard Childress Racing driver answered a fan's question, who inquired about Brexton's schooling. Samantha responded by elaborating on how she manages her son's schedule via homeschooling. She wrote,
"Each week varies by what's going on but we have a weekly list of things that need to get accomplished and carve out time each day. Or if we know the following week is going to be extra busy we do a little more the week before."
"We also basically go year round so that when we take off more time from racing or travel we make it up at other times. The flexibility of homeschooling is incredible along with the individualization!" Samantha added.
"Very beneficial for families who travel frequently" - Kyle Busch's wife Samantha on the benefits of home-schooling
Kyle and Samantha Busch have been married for nearly 14 years and are parents to two children. Their two-year-old daughter, Lennix, was born in May 2022, while their eldest child, Brexton, was born on May 18, 2015.
Amid the busy racing schedules of Cup Series driver Kyle Busch and his son, Samantha Busch discussed the advantages of homeschooling for both of their children. With races held across various parts of the country, she shared her insights on the benefits of such a flexible educational approach.
"One thing I love about at home and online schooling is how it allows students the freedom to explore. Connections Academy allows students to complete their lessons wherever they want, which is very beneficial for families who travel frequently, or value flexibility for their child's school schedules," she wrote in a recent post on Instagram.
"It also allows students to spend as much, or as little time as they need to master each lesson's concepts, giving them time for extracurricular activities and obligations," she added.
Samantha's husband, Kyle Busch, a 63-time Cup Series race winner, is seeking his first victory of the season to extend his impressive streak of winning at least one race in every year since his debut in NASCAR's premier division.
