Young and upcoming NASCAR racers have many role models to look up to. They would set their ambitions and goals, striving to reach the level of their idols, and someday surpass them. But then it is not easy to match the legends of the sport and the sheer consistency with which they climbed up the NASCAR ladder. Two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch’s record, for instance, will always be hard to match.

In the Cup Series, Busch has 63 wins. In the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, he has 102 wins. And in the Craftsman Truck Series, he has 68 wins. That’s a combined haul of 233 wins. No driver in NASCAR history has more wins than him in all three series.
With the current format, it is impossible for any driver to even come close to matching him. But if someone were to break his record, Busch would prefer that it be his son, Brexton.
“It depends on what the rules look like down the road. My years of being able to rack up so many wins were when there were no limitations on being able to run the Truck Series races and the Xfinity Series races,” Busch said in a recent interview with Fox8.
“It was pretty awesome winning 20-23 races in a season across all three series, but we will see what that looks like going forward,” he added. “All records are meant to be broken, right? Maybe I will stick around for a long, long time. Maybe someone out there will one day break it. Maybe I am training that young guy who’s going to break it. My son, Brexton,” he added.
Brexton, 10, has already set the racing world on fire with his victories at the grassroots. He is displaying tremendous potential under his father’s guidance.
Busch, meanwhile, has struggled a lot over the last two seasons, unable to reach Victory Lane. This year, he has a new crew chief, Jim Pohlman, and is expected to turn his form around. Glimpses of that happening were visible in Atlanta last weekend, where he reached Victory Lane in the Craftsman Truck Series.
