As NASCAR fans, we have often seen fathers and sons rule the sport in their respective prime. With Dale Earnhardt & Dale Earnhardt Jr, Bill Elliott & Chase Elliott, and Lee Petty & Richard Petty, the examples are plenty. However, we may soon see another pair of names on that list.

With the major strides he has been making in his junior racing career, it seems Brexton, Kyle Busch‘s son, is soon going to be the next big thing in NASCAR. While the RCR driver has already won 2 championships in the sport, his son, with his early success, doesn’t seem far off to emulate the same level of greatness.

While junior Busch is looking to board the NASCAR bandwagon, the sport has had many iconic father-son duos in the past. Fans certainly cannot forget the 1988 Cup Series champion, Bill Elliott, and his son, Chase Elliott. With Chase building on his father’s legacy, the Hendrick Motorsports driver is a solid competitor in the NASCAR scene.

Yet another powerful duo is Dale Earnhardt Sr and Dale Earnhardt Jr. No true fan can forget Dale Sr’s iconic run in NASCAR, racking up win after win. Dale Jr arguably had a tough time living up to the fan’s expectations. But off the track, he has taken the Earnhardt empire to a whole different level.
