As a result, Burton will not get any on-track experience at the 0.625-mile short-track before Friday’s NASCAR All-Star Open Practice session.
Burton is one of 16 drivers that will attempt to work his way into one of the three transfer spots to the NASCAR All-Star Race from the 100-lap open race. At the end of the All-Star Open, the top-two finishers will advance to the Main Event, while one additional driver will be voted into the field by the fans.
The 22-year-old racer scored his first top-10 finish of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season this past weekend with an impressive sixth-place effort in the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway.
