Kyle Busch spent many years battling his brother Kurt on the NASCAR circuit and now he’s taking on another member of his family.

The 2019 Cup Series champion has confirmed that he will be racing against his nine-year-old son, Brexton, on Wednesday, March 26 at Millbridge Speedway in Salisbury, N.C. It will be the first time they have faced off in an official race.

Brexton, who goes by the professional nickname BRex is an up-and-coming driver who won the Junior Sprint category at this year’s Tulsa Shootout and several other micro sprint car races this year.

The Busches will be competing in the 600 Winged Micro class at Millbridge, which is a quarter-mile dirt oval. The cars are powered by 160 hp 600cc motorcycle engines.

Milbridge’s Wednesday night races are scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on the Dirtvision subscription streaming service.
