Harrison Burton will transition to AM Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for the 2025 season, marking a significant move in his racing career. Burton has been competing full-time for Wood Brothers Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series since 2022, recently achieving his first career win at that level. As he shifts gears, Burton will now take on the challenge of racing full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with AM Racing.
AM Racing, known for its strong presence in the Xfinity Series, is preparing for an exciting new chapter as it enters a technical alliance with the newly established Haas Factory Team, following their separation from Stewart-Haas Racing. This partnership is expected to enhance AM Racing’s competitiveness in the upcoming season.
Burton, at just 23 years old, brings not only his skill behind the wheel but also a racing legacy. As the son of former NASCAR driver Jeff Burton, he has grown up immersed in the sport, learning from some of the best in the business. His transition to AM Racing is seen as an opportunity to apply the lessons he’s gathered during his time in the Cup Series to the Xfinity Series.
Burton shared his excitement about the move, stating, “I’m thrilled to be joining AM Racing and contributing to its growth as a race-winning team. This opportunity allows me to bring the experience I’ve gained in the Cup Series to the Xfinity Series and become the best driver I can be. Continuing my NASCAR journey with this team is a blessing, and I’m determined to make the most of it.”
His enthusiasm for the future is matched by AM Racing’s optimism. Wade Moore, the president of AM Racing, expressed the team’s excitement in welcoming Burton, highlighting his professionalism and potential to make an immediate positive impact on the team. Moore emphasized that Burton’s experience across NASCAR’s various levels positions him as a key figure in the team’s efforts to reach Victory Lane.
“AM Racing is proud to welcome Harrison Burton on board,” said Moore. “He is a first-class individual who has already shown he will positively influence each member of our team. His experiences in NASCAR’s National Series will allow him to lead and drive us toward our goals of success.”
Moore also emphasized the importance of AM Racing’s partnerships, noting that their strong alliances with Ford Performance, Roush Yates Engines, and the Haas Factory Team have been crucial to the team’s progress. He looks forward to continuing these collaborations and building on the team’s success in the upcoming season.
“We are equally proud to continue our strong partnerships with Ford Performance, Roush Yates Engines, and the Haas Factory Team. These collaborations have been key in supporting our growth, and we look forward to building upon these relationships as we head into the next season,” Moore stated.
The team is not only focused on its immediate goals but also looking toward the future. According to Moore, AM Racing remains committed to investing in its team, employees, and long-term success. The organization is determined to strengthen its infrastructure and continue making strides in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
With Burton’s arrival, AM Racing is poised to push its performance to new heights. His experience and ambition, combined with the team’s resources and strong partnerships, set the stage for an exciting 2025 season. Burton’s move to AM Racing could be a pivotal moment for both the driver and the team, as they work together to achieve their shared goal of reaching Victory Lane and solidifying their place in the Xfinity Series.
As Burton continues his journey in NASCAR, this next chapter at AM Racing could be one that defines his career and elevates the team’s standing in the sport. Both driver and team are eager to make the most of this opportunity and capitalize on the potential for success that lies ahead.
