Blown away: You won't believe the Christmas gift Junior once received
We begin our review of several notable NASCAR households on Christmas with a cool tweet from 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, but our rounds won't end there and you'll want to stick around long enough to see the "special present" the late Dale Earnhardt once gave his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr.
But first, a look into the budding driving career of one Brexton Busch, the young son of Kyle and Samantha Busch who got to spend a little quality time with his grandfather over Christmas.

Brexton wasn't the only NASCAR youngster gaining some valuable seat time, as evidenced by Brad Keselowski's social post about his baby daughter, Scarlett. And recently retired driver Jeff Gordon's two children, Ella and Leo, obviously had a good time on the holiday, too.

Of course, you can always count on Kevin Harvick to make sure his son, Keelan, is up to speed. Although Kevin's construction skills might be called into question, he got the job done so he and his son could have some Christmas fun.

Finally, that brings us to Earnhardt Jr. In answering some fans' questions on Twitter, he revealed who saved Christmas for the Earnhardt family back in the day and recalled one unique, very practical gift his famous father gave him when he was 12.
At 12, I got a leaf blower so I wouldn't have to hand sweep the garage everyday anymore. Boy was that awesome. ? https://t.co/LHsJDKrkN8

Dad was "practical". Leaf blower, bedroom set, collared shirts. Mom always saved Christmas with badass toys. https://t.co/22sOx2OUjk

Good thing Junior knew not to resurrect the leaf-blower gift for his fiancee, Amy Reimann.
A purse and leather jacket she wanted. Nothing is better than watching her open Christmas. I can barely stand still. https://t.co/LPxSUw8i4h
