● Harrison Burton NASCAR Xfinity Series EchoPark Speedway Stats: Friday night’s Focused Health 250 will mark Burton’s fifth Xfinity Series start at the hybrid 1.5-mile superspeedway.

In his previous four Xfinity Series starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway, he has delivered two top-five and three top-10 finishes, including a Xfinity track-best of third in the 2021 edition of the Echo Park 250 driving for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Earlier this year, Burton, in his second start with AM Racing, delivered a 10th-place finish in the Bennett Transportation & Logistics 250 after starting 19th. The race marked back-to-back top-10 finishes for Burton in his first season driving for the family-owned race team.

Burton carries an average Xfinity track finish of 10.5.

Additionally, he has six NASCAR Cup Series starts at Atlanta, including a top-10 finish in 2022, and one prior start in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series at Atlanta.

● Harrison Burton NASCAR Xfinity Series Career Stats: Entering Atlanta, Burton has 91 career NASCAR Xfinity Series starts to his credit with four wins, 27 top-five and 55 top-10 finishes, and a championship-best result of eighth, twice in 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Burton’s four wins in the NASCAR Xfinity Series occurred during the 2020 season. Burton, the son of former NASCAR driver and current television analyst Jeff Burton, captured the checkered flag at Auto Club (Calif.) Speedway, Homestead-Miami (Fla.) Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, respectively.

Burton maintains a solid Xfinity Series average finishing position of 12.4 in four years of competition.

In addition to the 91 Xfinity Series starts, he has achieved 109 NASCAR Cup Series starts, 40 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series starts and 52 career starts across the ARCA Menards Series platforms.

● Pocono Raceway | Explore The Pocono Mountains 250 Race Recap: Following an international journey to Mexico City for the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ return to Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Harrison Burton and the Danny Efland-led AM Racing team made the long haul to the Pocono Mountains for Saturday’s quick-hitting 100-lap dash at Pocono Raceway.

Optimism was high after Burton posted the fifth-fastest lap in practice aboard his No. 25 DEX Imaging Ford Mustang. However, a 16th-place qualifying effort forced the team to pivot their original strategy for the series’ lone visit to the Tricky Triangle.

A setback emerged during the pre-race warm-up when the team discovered an engine issue, prompting a last-minute scramble to install a backup motor. The unapproved adjustment relegated Burton to the rear of the field for the start, intensifying the team’s focus on maximizing opportunities throughout the event.

Despite aiming for stage points in the opening two stages, circumstances dictated a shift in focus to the final stage. Charging through the field, Burton positioned himself for what could have been his eighth top-10 finish of the season.

Unfortunately, his momentum was disrupted when a car bounced off the wall and into his path, resulting in damage that hampered the No. 25 team’s pace in the closing laps.

Still, Burton managed to fight to a 14th-place finish, salvaging a solid result from a day filled with adversity.

Harrison Burton Quoteboard:

On EchoPark Speedway: “I’m really looking forward to getting back to EchoPark Speedway this weekend. It’s a place I’ve been to a few times now, and every race there brings its own challenges.

“The track has some unique characteristics that make it a lot of fun to drive, and I’m excited to see what we can do in our fourth trip there.

“We had a solid top-10 finish in the spring, and I’m confident we can build on that and come back even stronger this time around.”

On Keys to Success at EchoPark Speedway: “EchoPark Speedway is all about rhythm and being disciplined behind the wheel,” Burton said. “It’s a track where corner exit really matters, and you’ve got to stay ahead of the balance changes as the race goes on.

“With the hotter temps this weekend, the track’s going to be slicker than it was in the spring, so managing tire wear and keeping the car underneath you will be a big part of staying competitive. We’ve got to be smart, make the right adjustments, and execute when it counts.”

On Goals for EchoPark Speedway: “This weekend is an important one for us. We’re heading back to EchoPark Speedway with a lot of motivation and a clear goal — to have a strong run and climb back into the top-12 in points.

“Every race matters at this stage of the season, and if we can execute the way we know we’re capable of, I think we can take a big step forward toward the Playoffs.”

On Pocono Raceway Finish: “It was definitely a battle from start to finish. We had good speed in practice, but the engine issue before the race really put us behind. I’m proud of the team for getting the backup motor in so quickly and giving us a shot.

“We were in position for a top-10 there at the end but just got caught up when another car bounced off the wall into us. It’s frustrating, but we salvaged a decent finish, and we’ll keep digging as we head into a key stretch of the season.”

On 2025 Season Outlook: “I still genuinely believe we can continue to turn some heads in 2025. Now that we’re past the halfway point, our goals haven’t changed, they’re still within reach. This AM Racing team has what it takes to fight our way above the Playoff cutline and stay there.

“We’ve got a great group of people and partners who continue to believe in what we’re building. Nothing would mean more to me than delivering AM Racing its first Xfinity Series win, locking into the Playoffs, and making a serious run at the championship.”
