● Critical Summer Stretch: The Chicago Street Course continues a pivotal nine-week stretch that will help shape the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoff picture ahead of the postseason opener at Bristol Motor Speedway in September.
The series is set to tackle a diverse slate of tracks in the coming weeks, each bringing its own unique demands. It all begins this weekend with the return to the tight, technical streets of downtown Chicago for the highly anticipated Chicago Street Course event. From there, the road course rhythm continues with a cross-country trip to the rolling hills of Northern California and the challenging layout of Sonoma Raceway.
From there, teams will take on the high-banked concrete of Dover Motor Speedway, then head to the iconic yard of bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, followed by Iowa Speedway, before wrapping up the stretch on August 9 at Watkins Glen International — a renowned road course in the Finger Lakes region of New York.

● EchoPark Speedway | Focused Health 250 Race Recap: Returning to EchoPark (Ga.) Speedway for the second time in the 2025 season, Harrison Burton and AM Racing aimed to notch their eighth top-10 finish of the year under the lights.
With no practice session on the schedule, Burton came out swinging in qualifying, posting the ninth-fastest lap in his No. 25 DEX Imaging Ford Mustang. At the drop of the green flag, he hovered around the top-10, though persistent grip issues made it difficult to gain ground.
Strategic calls from crew chief Danny Efland helped elevate Burton into the top five during Stage 2.
However, the team’s momentum was interrupted when Burton was spun by another competitor while battling through traffic. Fortunately, the contact resulted in only minor damage.
Despite an impressive charge from the rear of the field, the earlier damage impacted the car’s handling in the closing laps, ultimately leaving the team with a respectable 13th-place finish at the checkered flag.

Harrison Burton Quoteboard:
On The Chicago Street Course: “This weekend will be my first time in an Xfinity Series car at the Chicago Street Course, but I’m going into it with a positive mindset and the goal of maintaining a solid pace on Saturday afternoon.”
On Keys to Success at The Chicago Street Course: “Track position will mean everything this weekend.
“The Chicago Street Course has proven to be a challenging place to pass, so we need to qualify our No. 25 Dead On Tools Ford Mustang as close to the front as possible.
“We’ve got to stay out of trouble and execute throughout the race to hopefully put ourselves in position to contend for our eighth top-10 finish of the season.”
On Goals for The Chicago Street Course: “We need stage points, and we’re going to do everything in our power to get them. We’ve been able to score stage points on the road courses this year, but with the Playoffs not that far away, it’s important to keep racking them up.
“At the same time, we’ve got to stay out of trouble late in the race to make sure we come away with a strong finish.”
On EchoPark Speedway Finish: “I’m proud of our AM Racing team. Even without the benefit of qualifying, we were able to start the race inside the top-10 and even though we had to wrestle with the handling a little bit, I really thought we were in a position to finish inside the top-five, until we got spun and suffered some damage.
“Still, we rebounded to finish 13th, and while it could’ve been a lot worse, it was definitely a race of missed opportunity for us.”
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.”
