Harrison Burton Looks Toward 2025 As Next Year's Deal Is Announced
2 months agoOn Friday, it was announced that Harrison Burton would be driving for AM Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025, so now Burton is officially a lame-duck driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, and it seems unlikely he will race there full time again. Given his lame-duck status and given the fact that his plans for next year are announced, it seems like neither driver nor team really has an incentive to elevate themselves and prove their mettle, so there's little reason to expect Burton to push himself beyond his current performance in an attempt to prove himself for other teams. As a result, his 34th-place starting position, which is his career-worst at Bristol, makes sense. Since Burton has never finished better than 16th and three laps down, it's hard to envision him contending.
