Just a month ago, Brexton Busch, wheeling the #18B for Kyle Busch Motorsports, inked a fresh three-year deal with Servpro Industries, ensuring he’ll be sporting their green and orange colors till 2026. Kicking off the 2024 season, Brexton wasted no time showing Servpro that they bet on the right horse. He clinched his first victory of the season at Millbridge’s opener, and you bet Kyle and Samantha Busch were over the moon seeing their kid take the checkered flag.
A shout-out to Brexton Busch’s first big win of the season
In 2023, Kyle Busch‘s son, Brexton Busch, had about 35 victories and won the title of Beginner Box Stock Division champ at both Millbridge Speedway and Mountain Creek Speedway, right in their North Carolina backyard. As a matter of fact, before his recent triumph at Millbridge’s season kickoff, he was tearing up the track in Junior Sprint, Outlaw Karts, and Bandoleros, with plans to hop into restricted Micro Sprint cars this year. And although he’s been killing those races on the track, this season-opening win at Millbridge has his folks, Samantha and Kyle Busch, glowing with pride.

However, she did not limit herself to that. Samantha Busch went beyond just one shoutout for her son’s big night. A few hours later, she shared a heartwarming family photo, with Brexton proudly holding his trophies. Her post was a touching message for her son, saying, “Millbridge season opener 🏆🏆 I tried to explain to Brexton last night why I was teary and hugging on him and kept telling him how proud I was. I told him that he and his sister are my biggest accomplishments and watching him achieve his dreams is the most rewarding and fulfilling thing as a parent. We are so proud of you buddy!”
Not to mention, father, Kyle Busch, didn’t miss out either, posting his congrats to his son in his own style for nailing the season’s first win, saying, “This kid kicked b*tt last nite! Picked up ✌🏻 wins to open the Millbridge season!🔥Couldn’t be prouder of @brextonbusch, let’s keep it rollin bud!👊🏻”

But Kyle Busch’s apparently not just sticking to the kiddie leagues for Brexton. He’s also gearing him up for the iRacing world, which has been a launching pad for stars like William Byron and Rajah Caruth.
