● Harrison Burton NASCAR Xfinity Series Indianapolis Motor Speedway Stats: Saturday afternoon’s Pennzoil 250 will mark Harrison Burton’s first NASCAR Xfinity Series start at the famed 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
While he has yet to make a lap in Xfinity Series competition at the Brickyard, Burton is not entering unfamiliar territory.
He brings prior experience at one of the sport’s most iconic venues, having competed in last July’s NASCAR Cup Series event with Wood Brothers Racing.
After qualifying 16th for the Brickyard 400, Burton’s day was cut short by a mid-race accident, leaving him with a 36th-place finish.
● Harrison Burton NASCAR Xfinity Series Career Stats: Entering Indianapolis, Burton has 95 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 12.5 in four years of competition.
In addition to the 95 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.
● Dover Motor Speedway | BetRivers 200 Race Recap: The NASCAR Xfinity Series made its lone visit to Dover Motor Speedway, tackling the high-banked Monster Mile for 200 grueling laps of high-speed intensity and unforgiving competition.
Sporting a fresh Morton Buildings livery, Harrison Burton and the No. 25 AM Racing team, led by crew chief Danny Efland, faced early challenges during practice as they struggled with the balance of their Ford Mustang — placing them in uncharted territory heading into qualifying.
However, quick adjustments between sessions paid off. Burton rebounded from the bottom of the practice charts to post the ninth-fastest lap in qualifying, an encouraging turnaround for the team.
Once the green flag dropped, Burton settled into a solid rhythm and maintained track position inside the top 15 for the majority of the race. With the team continuing to fine-tune the car’s balance during pit stops, they felt poised to contend for their eighth top-10 finish of the season.
That momentum, however, was cut short on Lap 131 when rain interrupted the event. Despite NASCAR’s efforts to resume the race, the weather ultimately forced officials to call it early — 66 laps shy of the scheduled distance.
Burton was credited with an 11th-place finish, securing his 14th top-15 result of the season for AM Racing.

Harrison Burton Quoteboard:
On Indianapolis Motor Speedway: “I’ve been itching to get back to Indianapolis Motor Speedway ever since the Cup race last July — it’s such an incredible, historic place.
“I learned a ton from that experience, especially about managing traffic and finding the right line through the corners. Now stepping into the Xfinity car,
“I’m excited to apply everything I’ve learned and give the No. 25 DEX Imaging Ford Mustang a strong run.
“The team’s been working hard to dial in the balance and unload faster and I feel ready to make a statement this weekend.”
On Keys to Success at Indianapolis Motor Speedway: “Indianapolis is all about precision and momentum. It’s such a unique track with long straights and tight corners, so you’ve got to hit your marks every lap and carry speed off each turn.
“Track position and clean air are huge, especially with how aero-sensitive these cars are. If we can stay disciplined, execute on pit road and make the right adjustments, we’ll give ourselves a real shot to be in the mix at the end.”
On Battle for Playoff Cutline: “We’re right in the thick of the Playoff fight, and every point matters at this stage. It’s pretty wild that Jeb’s (Burton) the one holding that last spot — I’ve got a ton of respect for him, but we’re both out here trying to earn our way in.
“For us, it’s about executing every weekend, maximizing stage points and putting ourselves in position for strong finishes. I believe in this AM Racing team and we’re going to keep digging until we’re on the right side of that cutline.”
On Dover Motor Speedway Finish: “I felt like we were really starting to hit our stride before the rain came in. We didn’t have the balance we needed in practice, but Danny (Efland, crew chief) and the guys made great adjustments before qualifying and throughout the race.
“We were in a solid spot to fight for a top-10, maybe better, so it’s frustrating to see it end early. Still, 11th is something we can continue to build on, and I’m proud of the effort everyone at AM Racing put in.”
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.”
