The Busch family has left an indelible mark on NASCAR. Brothers Kurt and Kyle Busch have collectively achieved three championships and 94 wins in the Cup Series. Kurt, the 2004 NASCAR Cup Series champion and 2017 Daytona 500 winner, and Kyle, a two-time Cup Series champion, have cemented their places among NASCAR’s greatest drivers. While Kyle is still an active driver, the focus has already shifted to the next generation of Busch.
Brexton Busch, only 9 years old, is already making waves in junior racing circuits. He has won significant events like the Saturday Millbridge Beginner Box championship in 2022 and Golden Driller at the Tulsa Shootout in 2025. While Brexton’s passion for racing is evident, another Busch family member is not far behind.
Samantha Busch reveals the next Busch in line to race!
In NASCAR, the men may dominate the driver lineups, but that doesn’t mean the women in racing families haven’t made their mark. The most famous example is the Cope sisters, Amber and Angela. The twins made history as the first to compete in NASCAR events, continuing their family’s racing legacy after their father, Derrick Cope, was a premier Cup Series racer and the 1990 Daytona 500 winner. Names like these prove that racing talent runs in the family regardless of gender. Thus, it’s no surprise that the Busch family may have another young racer in the making. But this time, it’s not Brexton stealing the spotlight. It’s little Lennix!
For an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session, a fan asked Kyle’s wife, Samantha Busch on Instagram, “So, Brexton is all for intents and purposes a race car driver…has Lennix expressed interest in it?” To which Samantha replied, “Oh yes, her and Brexton race just about every day we are home, out in the neighborhood,” indicating a strong interest in racing from a very young age. Lennix Busch is the youngest of the Busch children, but that has not stopped her from getting into a car to prove that she’s just as good as her brother.

Samantha Busch’s Instagram feed is filled with fun posts of Lennix driving around in her toy car. One such post, captioned, “This girl is all gas, no brakes,” shows Lennix driving in the neighborhood with Brexton and Kyle ensuring her safety and teaching her that driving is not all about accelerating. Another post shows Lennix showcasing her pink racing suit with leopard prints on the side, ready to race. Moreover, Samantha often takes Lennix to the track to watch Brexton and Kyle compete. Lennix has even taken her first laps around Millbridge Speedway. This possibly, we think, marked the beginning of what could be another Busch legacy in the making.
Samantha’s support for both her children’s diverse interests is commendable, as she balances her mommy duties along with her own career as a lifestyle blogger. As the Busch family continues to nurture the next generation of racers, Samantha remains a central figure in supporting their endeavors. With Brexton already making a name for himself and Lennix showing promise, it’s clear that the Busch legacy in NASCAR is in good hands.
Is 2025 going to be the year of the Buschs?
2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the Busch family, with multiple generations of racers making headlines. Kurt Busch is returning to racing after being medically cleared following a concussion that ended his full-time NASCAR career in 2022. He will participate in the Race of Champions alongside Travis Pastrana for Team USA on March 7-8 in Sydney, Australia. This event marks a significant comeback for Kurt, who has been eager to get back behind the wheel.
Kurt Busch’s return to racing is just one part of the Busch family’s exciting year. His nephew, Brexton Busch, is already making waves in junior racing circuits.. The prospect of a “Battle of the Buschs” has also been floated, with Kurt expressing enthusiasm for competing against his brother Kyle and nephew Brexton. This potential family showdown could be a thrilling spectacle, bringing together all the Busch racers.
Incidentally, the “Battle of the Buschs” idea was sparked by Kyle Busch’s social media post during Brexton’s practice session at the Caraway Speedway. A post on X by Kyle hinted at a future racing event involving himself and Brexton. Kurt responded, saying, “I’m on my way,” indicating his readiness to participate. This family rivalry could not only entertain fans but also highlight the enduring legacy of the Busch family in motorsports.
The combination of Kurt’s comeback, Brexton’s rising star, and Kyle’s continued dominance in NASCAR makes 2025 a year to watch for the Busch family. Lennix’s babysteps into the world of racing only add to the excitement, leaving Samantha as the only one yet to pursue racing!
Their shared passion for racing and competitive spirit will undoubtedly captivate fans and inspire future generations of drivers. As the Buschs continue to push the limits of what’s possible in motorsports, their legacy is sure to endure.
