Harrison Burton<\/a><\/strong> finally broke through and won a NASCAR<\/a><\/strong> Cup Series race in 2024, but he\u2019s been looking for a new seat for quite awhile, ever since it was announced Josh Berry<\/a><\/strong> would pilot the No. 21 for the Wood Brothers in 2025.<\/p>\n

After much deliberation, Burton\u2019s plans for next season have been announced. The 23-year old will be driving the No. 15 for AM Racing<\/a><\/strong> in the Xfinity Series, the team announced on Friday morning. <\/p>\n

\u201cAM Racing proudly announced today that recent Daytona Cup Series winner Harrison Burton will join the organization to pilot the team\u2019s flagship Ford Mustang entry full-time in the Xfinity Series beginning with the season-opener at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on February 15, 2025,\u201d a press release from AM Racing read. <\/p>\n

\u201cBurton will join the Statesville, N.C. team following a three-year stint in the Cup Series, driving the famed No. 21 Ford Mustang for the iconic Wood Brothers Racing team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burton had high expectations when he first got into the Cup Series, but perhaps it was a little too soon for him, as he struggled immensely in the No. 21 at times. At least he\u2019ll leave the Cup Series a winner, after he out-dueled two-time champion Kyle Busch<\/a><\/strong> coming to the line during August\u2019s Coke Zero 400.<\/p>\n

Moving forward, Burton will hope to cultivate a winning culture at AM Racing, with the idea of eventually returning to the Cup Series after some success in the Xfinity Series, like a litany of wheelmen have done in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to join AM Racing and help build it into the race-winning race team I believe it can and will be,\u201d added Burton. \u201cI think this will be a great opportunity for me to take the things l\u2019ve learned in the Cup Series, bring those to the Xfinity Series and be the best driver I can be.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a blessing to continue my NASCAR journey, and I intend to make the most of this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

AM Racing had run a myriad of different drivers in 2024, from Hailee Deegan<\/a><\/strong> to Joey Logano<\/a><\/strong> and a bunch of one-offs in between. Moving forward with Harrison Burton<\/a><\/strong> could be beneficial for both parties, and could provide the Xfinity Series with another capable team in 2025. <\/p>\n
