As a mentor, Kyle Busch needs to ensure that his son is on the right track when it comes to racing. The RCR star highlighted that this role has improved his understanding when it comes to on-track activities.

Busch admitted that he cannot act as a hypocrite and give advice to his son that he doesn’t follow. As such, this has influenced the NASCAR veteran’s way of racing. With the 40-year-old only driving the way he wants Brexton to drive.

I think a lot of it, too, Brexton racing… I think Brexton racing and my messages that I’m trying to deliver to him, I’m now taking more sense in of understanding. Like, I can’t do something this way when I’m trying to teach him that way. So, I need to do that and that, so it makes more sense that I’m living by my word.

Kyle Busch said on Actions Detrimental podcast.

Brexton Busch indeed has learnt a lot from his father. The 10-year-old’s career has excited his entire family with even his uncle Kurt Busch keeping a keen eye on his racing.
