The Busch family has become one of NASCAR’s most dynamic and entertaining duos, with Kyle Busch dominating on the track and his son Brexton stealing hearts everywhere he goes. Over the past few years, Brexton, now a budding racer himself, has become a staple in Kyle’s victory celebrations. But after countless iconic moments where Kyle lifts Brexton in triumph, fans are beginning to ask: is it time for Brexton to return the favor and toss his dad in the air?
The Evolution of a Father-Son Celebration
Victory Lane has always been a special place for Kyle Busch, with 60+ NASCAR Cup Series wins to his name. But since Brexton’s debut as a toddler in the NASCAR spotlight, the celebrations have taken on a new level of heartwarming charm.
Whether it’s Brexton’s infectious grin, his pint-sized race suits, or his antics around the team, he’s become as much a part of Kyle’s post-race routine as the checkered flag itself. And who could forget the classic photo of Kyle hoisting a young Brexton in the air, a moment that symbolized not just a win on the track, but the joys of fatherhood?
But now, with Brexton growing up fast and even making his own name in the racing world, the balance of power might be shifting.
Brexton’s Rise as a Racer
At just eight years old, Brexton Busch is already making waves in the racing world, competing in various youth divisions and showing the kind of talent that runs deep in the Busch family genes. Under Kyle’s guidance, Brexton has learned the ropes of competitive racing, racking up wins and developing a reputation as a fierce young competitor.
Kyle has often joked about Brexton being the future of the Busch legacy in NASCAR, but fans have noticed that the younger Busch is also gaining confidence—and strength. If Brexton keeps building on his momentum, could we see a role reversal in the family’s iconic victory celebrations?
Fans Call for a New Tradition
Social media has been buzzing with fans playfully suggesting that it’s time for Brexton to toss Kyle in the air after his next victory. The image of Brexton hoisting his dad—a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion—has quickly become a viral dream for fans who love seeing the playful bond between father and son.
“Kyle’s been lifting Brexton all these years—Brexton needs to return the favor! Let’s make it happen!” one fan tweeted.
Another wrote, “Brexton tossing Kyle in the air would be the ultimate moment in NASCAR history. We need this!”
Could It Really Happen?
While the idea of an eight-year-old lifting his dad might be a stretch—at least for now—there’s no doubt the playful banter between Kyle and Brexton will only grow as they continue to share these unforgettable moments.
Kyle himself has embraced the lighthearted nature of the conversation, recently quipping, “He’s getting stronger, but I think I’ve got a couple more years before I have to worry about him flipping the script on me in Victory Lane.”
For now, Brexton seems content with his role as the adorable sidekick in his dad’s celebrations, but don’t be surprised if, one day, the tables turn and Brexton’s the one doing the lifting—whether it’s a trophy, a checkered flag, or maybe even Kyle himself.
A Celebration for the Ages
Victory Lane has always been a place for emotion and tradition, but the Busch family has redefined what it means to celebrate success. Whether it’s Kyle lifting Brexton or the other way around, one thing’s for sure: the bond between these two will continue to be a highlight of NASCAR for years to come.
So, Kyle, watch out—Brexton might just be training for the day he gets to toss you in the air. And when that day comes, you can bet it’ll be a moment NASCAR fans will never forget.
