Kyle and Brexton Busch's first race took place earlier this year at Millbridge Speedway in North Carolina. They competed in the 600cc Winged Micros class.

Kyle Busch, who has 63 career NASCAR Cup Series wins, finished third in the 20-lap feature. Brexton, only nine years old, placed sixth in a field of 20 drivers. For much of the race, the father and son ran directly behind each other, with Kyle in fifth and Brexton in sixth.

On the final restart, Kyle Busch moved up into the top three while Brexton held on to a solid sixth place after some contact with another competitor. Speaking after the event, Kyle Busch told NASCAR.com:

“It was cool. One of these days, we’ll get to battling it out and swapping back and forth, hopefully. But for a first-nighter, that’s definitely impressive for a 9-year-old to come on out here.”

Both drivers showed speed all night. Kyle Busch qualified third while Brexton Busch set the seventh-fastest time. In their heat races, Kyle placed second and Brexton third, which put them side by side on the starting grid for the feature.

Kyle later acknowledged that he was not at his best that night but was proud of how well his son performed. For Brexton, running close to his father for most of the race was a strong debut in direct competition.
