Harrison Burton Looks to Repeat Improbable Daytona Victory
1 month agoAfter improbably winning the summer Daytona race in August, Harrison Burton looks to duplicate that performance at Talladega. Since his Wood Brothers car is prepared by Team Penske and Penske and its satellites have been dominating on drafting tracks all season, there is a slight possibility that Burton could win again and his 9th place starting position is his first top ten start in over a year. However, it is unlikely he will outrun the Penske and Front Row Motorsports cars on merit since all five of those drivers are better, so he would likely need to be the last man standing after several of them crashed like what happened at Daytona in order to significantly contend. Since recent Talladega races have not had as many wrecked cars as recent Daytona races, that seems very unlikely to happen.
