● Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™ | Blue Cross NC 250 Race Recap: The NASCAR Xfinity Series wrapped up its road course slate last weekend in its own backyard at the ever-demanding Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™.
The Blue Cross NC 250 also served as an elimination race in the opening round of the Xfinity Series Playoffs, with Harrison Burton and AM Racing looking to continue their journey toward the Championship 4 after earning the team’s postseason berth following a strong showing at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway last month.
The fall trip to the Concord, N.C.-based track, however, was one the team wished they could hit the reset button on.
After a season of steady performance on road courses, the AM Racing team entered the weekend optimistic they could overcome any challenges that might stand between them and advancement to the Round of 8.
Unfortunately, mechanical gremlins had other plans.
During practice, the No. 25 DEX Imaging Ford Mustang encountered fuel-pressure issues that forced the team to make several adjustments before qualifying.
Running in a conservative mode, Burton secured the 28th starting position on speed.
When the green flag waved, early signs pointed to a turnaround. Burton began methodically working his way through the field, climbing toward the top 20.
But the fuel-pressure issues returned, forcing the team to the garage for diagnosis and repairs. Despite their best efforts, the setback proved costly.
Burton returned to the track and nursed the car to a 34th-place finish, but the result wasn’t enough to keep the No. 25 DEX Imaging team above the elimination line — ending their first Xfinity Series Playoff campaign earlier than hoped.
However, despite being eliminated from the Playoffs, Burton and the AM Racing team remain determined to close out the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season on a strong note.
Over the final stretch of races, the No. 25 AM Racing Ford Mustang team will continue to battle for the highest possible finishing position among non-Playoff competitors, with their sights set on finishing fifth in the driver championship standings by the conclusion of the Championship 4 race at Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway on November 1.

Harrison Burton Quoteboard:
On Las Vegas Motor Speedway: “Even though the Charlotte ROVAL didn’t go our way, there’s still a lot to be proud of with how our team has performed over the past couple of months.
“The consistency and speed we’ve shown since the summer have really built our confidence, and we’re going to Las Vegas with that same mindset.
“It’s a track I really enjoy, and our intermediate program has come a long way.
“The goal is to keep our momentum rolling and fight for our sixth straight top-10 finish with our No. 25 Dead On Tools Ford Mustang. Everyone at AM Racing has worked so hard, and we’re focused on closing out the year strong.”
On Keys to Success at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: “Las Vegas is one of those tracks where balance and discipline really matter. It’s easy to get aggressive early, but the key to success there is managing your tires, staying ahead of the track changes, and keeping the car turning well over a long run.
“Clean air is huge, but you’ve got to put yourself in position to take advantage of it when it counts.
“I feel really confident in what our AM Racing group has been building with our No. 25 Dead On Tools Ford Mustang, and if we execute the way we’ve been doing lately, we can keep this top-10 track streak going and maybe even contend for something bigger.”
On Expectations for Las Vegas Motor Speedway: “Anytime you go to Las Vegas during the Playoffs, the intensity is through the roof. Even though we’re no longer in the playoffs, our approach doesn’t change.
“We still have a lot to fight for, and we want to show we can run with the best of the best. The No. 25 Dead On Tools Ford Mustang had speed in the spring race at Las Vegas, and if we execute cleanly, we can absolutely be a factor again.
“Track position and long-run balance will be the biggest keys this weekend. The stakes are high for everyone, but that’s what makes racing at Vegas so exciting — it’s about staying composed, hitting your marks, and taking advantage when the opportunity comes.”
On Goals for the Remainder of 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Season: “Our goals for the rest of the season are pretty simple — keep building, keep learning and keep performing at a high level.
“We’ve shown we can run up front and contend for top-10s almost every week and that’s something we want to keep improving on as we close out the year.
“Even though we’re out of the Playoffs, there’s still a lot of pride in finishing strong and proving what this AM Racing team is capable of.
“We want to be the best of the rest, and we’re focused on ending the year with momentum. With the speed and chemistry, we’ve developed with our No. 25 Dead On Tools Ford Mustang throughout the season, I know we can finish this season on a high note.”
On Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™ Finish: “It kind of ended before it started. We had an issue in practice and changed everything we could and felt like we were gonna be OK.
“It turns out we had a fuel pickup issue, so that’s a whole fuel cell change and that’s not something we could really do under green. It’s just a bummer.
“All of the evidence we had didn’t really point to that being the issue, but it was and took us out of the race before it started.
“Even when we were out there, I was trying to save fuel to make it last as long as it could, so I didn’t ever really know how good we were or weren’t. That’s the hardest part, but I’m proud of our team.
“I’m proud of the season we’ve had. It’s been a lot of fun to make the playoffs and go to Bristol, a huge highlight for us to run in a really competitive way to start our playoffs. We just didn’t end it the right way.”
