On another interesting note, the boy also had his official logo emblazoned on the back of the helmet. To be precise, it featured the first four alphabets of his name. However, a picture of a cartoon T-Rex replaced the letter R in the logo. Brexton Busch was absolutely thrilled with his new lid, and so were the fans.

What lies ahead for Brexton Busch and father Kyle Busch?

For the moment, both father and son are competing in the Tulsa Shootout, but in different events. It is also noteworthy that this was Busch’s first time at the event and he took a bit of time to get up to speed. However, he was able to shrug off early struggles and dominated the heat race.

To be exact, he qualified in a lowly 8th place, but scythed his way up the order. Eventually, he finished the eight lap race in P1 and bagged 135 points for his efforts. Naturally, he was quite delighted with his performance and was also looking forward to see his son tear up the track.

This event will be Brexton Busch and Kyle Busch’s final event of the year before the new year. When 2022 rolls by, Busch Sr will be hard at work preparing for the upcoming Cup season. This year will be a lot more important than before because of the introduction of the Next Gen cars. Kyle Busch has been critical of it in the past, but there is not much that he can do about it now. What did you make of the adorable helmet?
