Harrison Burton Unlikely to Duplicate Talladega Top Ten
7 months agoHarrison Burton scored his first top ten of the season last week at Talladega, but it is extremely unlikely to foresee him repeating that feat in this weekend's race at Dover. Although he did gain eleven positions from his starting position in both of his NASCAR Cup Series starts at Dover, he finished two laps down in both races and he has a mediocre average finish of 22nd. Additionally, in both races, his average running position was worse than his finish. Even in his Xfinity Series starts, he was essentially a nonfactor as he led no laps and finished no better than fifth for a Joe Gibbs Racing team that tends to dominate at Dover, as evidenced by Ryan Truex's back-to-back Xfinity Series wins there. With Burton qualifying 26th, it's hard to imagine any of these trends changing this weekend.
