Harrison Burton is set to drop down to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025, joining forces with AM Racing.
The NASCAR Cup Series winner will pilot the flagship Ford Mustang Dark Horse for the organization beginning with the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway on February 15.
“I’m excited to join AM Racing and help build it into the race-winning race team I believe it can and will be,” said Burton. “I think this will be a great opportunity for me to take the things I’ve learned in the Cup Series, bring those to the Xfinity Series, and be the best driver I can be. It’s a blessing to continue my NASCAR journey, and I intend to make the most of this opportunity.”
Burton joins the organization after a three-year stint in the NASCAR Cup Series driving for Wood Brothers Racing, in which time he secured a victory at Daytona and two top-five finishes.
“AM Racing is proud to welcome Harrison Burton on board,” offered Wade Moore, president of AM Racing. “He is a first-class individual and has already proven that he will immediately impact each team member here at AM in a positive manner. His experiences across NASCAR’s National Series will position him to be a leader and a catalyst in our pursuit of Victory Lane and the goals we ultimately envision for this program.
AM Racing has renewed its agreements with both Roush Yates Engines and the soon-to-be-rebranded HAAS Factory Team, each of which will provide the organization with support for the third straight year.
“We are equally proud to continue our strong partnerships with Ford Performance, Roush Yates Engines and HAAS Factory Team. These collaborations have been instrumental in supporting our team’s growth and success, and we look forward to building upon these relationships in the upcoming season. We will continue to invest in this team, our employees and ultimately, our future.”
Additional details regarding Burton’s Xfinity Series program with AM Racing will come at a later date.
