LAS VEGAS — The first family of Las Vegas motorsports will add to their legacy on March 5 when Brexton Busch makes his West Coast Bandolero debut in the Bash at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Busch, the 7-year old son of two-time NASCAR champion Kyle Busch, has already made an impression in the racing world, racking up wins at tracks around the country. He’s coming off an impressive season which saw him win 32 races at 13 different tracks across 11 states in two separate styles of race cars.
He was also able to collect his second consecutive track championship, claiming the title in the Beginner Box Stock division at Mountain Creek (N.C.) Speedway.
As part of his progression into various styles of race cars at tracks all over the country, he will make his first Bandolero start on the track where his father racked up more than 100 wins across several divisions.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun to race at the same track that my dad, Grandpa Tom and Uncle Kurt have a lot of wins at,” Busch said. ”I haven’t raced my Bandolero much, but hopefully I can get the win!”
The Bullring opened in 1985 with Brexton’s grandfather, Tom Busch, winning the first ever race. Brexton’s uncle, former NASCAR champion Kurt Busch, picked up more than 30 wins during the 1990s at the Bullring.
The March 5 event will also include a Legends car feature. Racing will start approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Alsco Uniforms 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the superspeedway.
