When Brexton Busch woke up Sunday morning, he turned to his father and said one thing: “Daddy, you’re going to win today.”
Considering his Daddy is Kyle Busch, and that Busch had finished second in three of the first six races of the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, it wasn’t exactly a bold prediction.

Still, it was enough for both Kyle and Samantha Busch to praise their young prognosticator after Busch did, indeed, tally his first victory of the season in the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500.
“You were right!” Kyle Busch said before wrapping Brexton in a hug in Victory Lane. “You said we were gonna win today.”
Kyle, of course, also celebrated with his now-standard tossing of the nearly 3-year-old into the air in Victory Lane.
