Kyle Busch's death was announced on Thursday, May 21, after a hospitalization for a severe illness. Brexton's return to the sport, which he pursued with dedication and in which he followed in his father's footsteps, has drawn encouraging comments from fans online. Many expressed that seeing him race is a fitting tribute to his dad and a positive outlet for him during this difficult time.
Brexton, along with his younger sister Lennix, 4, is the child of Kyle and Samantha Busch.

Kyle Busch's final public message was a birthday wish to Brexton for his 11th birthday, just days before his own untimely death at age 41.
