'We Race on': Samantha Busch Shares Post About Son's Return to Racing Month After Kyle Busch's Death
Brexton Busch finished sixth in a Legends Car as Samantha Busch said racing remains a family home and a promise to Kyle Busch.
- Earlier this week, Brexton Busch returned to racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway, competing in the Cook Out Summer Shootout for his first time behind the wheel since his father's death.
- NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch died unexpectedly on May 21 at age 41 from pneumonia that progressed into sepsis. The racetrack has remained central to the family, serving as a place to feel close to the late two-time champion.
- During the Summer Shootout, Brexton Busch finished sixth and second in his first races back. Tom Busch, his 72-year-old grandfather, took an honorary lap in a Legends Car while Brexton waved the flag from the flagstand.
- Brexton Busch said he "felt really good to get racing again," while planning to learn from a final-lap mistake that cost him a potential second win.
- Richard Childress Racing has kept the No. 18 car retired until Brexton Busch decides to use it, while the family remains committed to pursuing the racing dreams Kyle Busch championed.
