At the Oxford 250 weekend, driver Gabe Brown paid a heartfelt tribute to Kyle Busch by achieving a throwback victory in the American Canadian Tour’s Pine State 125. Brown accomplished this feat by driving from the back of the field all the way to the front in the third groove, honoring a memorable moment from Busch’s 2011 win.
This win held extra significance for Brown, especially given the personal relationship he shared with the two-time Cup Series champion. Brown expressed that achieving this specific driving style was meaningful, noting that he felt proud to replicate the manner in which Busch had won that race.
The bond between Brown and Busch was evident throughout their careers. Brown recalled that they developed a strong relationship quickly, with Busch frequently reaching out to congratulate him or discuss potential racing opportunities. This connection was deeply valued by Brown, particularly in light of Busch’s passing.
Brown remains devoted to his racing career, continuing to work with teams like Factory 47 while also supporting other drivers and vehicles. He looks forward to future events, including the upcoming Oxford 250, piloting the Bobby Webber Racing PASS car.
