And, ahead of that, his son Brexton is showing his father how to get things done, having taken a stunning win himself in the Junior Sprint Division at the Tulsa Shootout.

Impressively, Brexton, who is just nine years old, held back a 20-car field in the 'a-main' race on Saturday to become a Golden Driller winner, with over 105 drivers entering the 'Junior Sprint Division' overall.

Naturally, Kyle Busch would have been very proud of his son for achieving such a fine feat, and quickly took to social media after the race to issue a message on the matter.

"Let’s gooooo boyy💪🏻👏🏻," the NASCAR legend posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

In a later post, Busch added: "24 hours later, and I still couldn’t be more proud of @brextonbusch,"

"Biggest moment of his career and he drove a perfect race. All the hard work he and the guys put in all year paid off.

"Just a really proud dad right now."

A host of comments underneath the post also congratulated Brexton on his success, with some of the best tweets we could see gathered below:

One X user @Patrick83657704 wrote: "Congratulations brexton way to go young man 🎉🏆."

Elsewhere, X user @ChristieS2019 compared Brexton's success to that of his father, posting: "Like father like son!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥."

Meanwhile, another X user, @TheStoneMatador congratulated Brexton and joked that Kyle was now under pressure to quickly get another race win under his belt: "WOW…that’s Awesome for him & I’m sure you’re very proud KB ! But, that does kinda put the pressure on you…."

Interestingly, Brexton Busch was not the only son of a NASCAR Cup Series star to feature in the Tulsa Shootout.

Owen Larson, son of 2021 Cup Series champion Kyle, finished sixth in the race, five places behind Brexton.
