Richard Childress says it was "incredible" watching Brexton Busch this past Tuesday while discussing his abilities as a race car driver. Brexton was seen at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Tuesday driving his Legends car in opening practice for the Summer Shootout.
Childress says the Kyle Busch stylized No. 8 is there for Brexton if he ever wants to run it in the future for any team in NASCAR. They hold the rights to the number, so they can save it for the future if Brexton chooses to use it as his own.
As far as helping Brexton and putting him in the best possible position for his future:
"I think, again, just showing him the respect - and trying not to put more pressure on him, just like Dale Jr., not put more pressure on him. I think that he's got a great future ahead. That kid can drive a race car. ... He's just a bright young man and a great little race driver. He'll carry the Busch legacy many years to come."
Richard Childress reveals that he was supposed to announce today that Kyle Busch was going to return to Richard Childress Racing for the 2027 season. They had wanted to make the announcement alongside GM/Chevrolet.
Childress says he had spoken to Kyle the Tuesday night before he fell ill. Kyle told him "you give me cars like you've gave me the last three weeks, I will make the Chase this year."
