Bristol Motor Speedway | Food City 300 Race Recap: The NASCAR Xfinity Series journeyed to Bristol Motor Speedway for the opening round of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs under the lights.
For Harrison Burton and the AM Racing team, the mission was to leave the “World’s Fastest Half Mile” with a solid finish and a positive step forward in their quest for the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway in November.
The one-day show opened on a high note with Burton posting the seventh-fastest lap in practice. A short time later, he backed up that effort in qualifying, again clocking in seventh and earning valuable track position for the demanding 300-lap race.
From the drop of the green flag, Burton showed strength in his No. 25 AirBox Ford Mustang.
The team executed a strategy call in Stage 1, electing not to pit at the end of the segment, which allowed Burton to battle for crucial stage points. He delivered with a strong third-place finish in the opening stage.
Following a pit stop under caution, Burton restarted mid-pack but methodically worked his way back toward the front with a balanced race car. By the end of Stage 2, he was knocking on the door of the top-10 once again.
In the final stage, Burton returned to form inside the top-10 and showcased quick reflexes to narrowly avoid a multi-car incident at Lap 275 that unfolded just inches ahead of him.
Over the closing 17 laps, he maintained his position and crossed the line seventh, completing a weekend sweep of seventh-place efforts in practice, qualifying, and the race.
The result marked Burton’s 10th top-10 finish of the 2025 season — a new single-season record for AM Racing’s Xfinity Series program.

Harrison Burton Quoteboard:
On Kansas Speedway: “I’m really looking forward to getting back to Kansas Speedway this weekend. It’s a track that’s always been fast and challenging, and it’s one where I’ve had some good runs in the past.
“We’ve worked hard to put ourselves in a good position in the Playoffs, and our goal is to keep building momentum and stacking solid finishes.
“The AM Racing guys have been bringing me fast Ford Mustangs, and if we can execute the way we know we can, I feel like Kansas is a place where we can come out of there with a really strong result.”
On Keys to Success at Kansas Speedway: “Kansas is a place where track position and balance are really important. The groove moves around a lot during the race, so being able to adjust and find speed in different lanes is a big key.
“You’ve got to keep up with the track as it changes, especially late in the run, and making the right adjustments on pit road can really set you apart.
“If we can execute on pit road, stay ahead of the balance, and put ourselves in the right lane at the right time, I think we’ll have a great chance to be in the mix at the end.”
On Expectations for Kansas Speedway: “Kansas is a big race for us because it’s the middle event in the Round of 12 and we want to keep ourselves in a good spot above the cutline.
“We know the competition is tough, but our team has shown speed and consistency and that gives me a lot of confidence. The goal is to maximize points in every stage, stay mistake-free, and put ourselves in position to contend for a strong finish.
“If we can do that, we’ll keep control of our Playoff destiny heading into the ROVAL.”
On Making the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs with AM Racing: “Making the Playoffs means a lot to me personally, but even more so for everyone at AM Racing and for our marketing partners and everyone at Ford Racing.
“This is the team’s third year in the Xfinity Series, and to already be a Playoff contender shows how much progress has been made in a short amount of time. I’m proud to be the driver who gets to represent them on this stage.
“Ford has been behind me throughout my career, and being able to carry the Blue Oval into the postseason is something I don’t take for granted.
“Now the goal is to keep building on this and show what we’re capable of over these next seven weeks.”
On Bristol Motor Speedway Finish: “Bristol was a solid night for our AM Racing team. We unloaded with speed, qualified well, and were able to get some important stage points early, which was a big boost for us in the Playoffs.
“The car was really balanced most of the night, and even when we had to restart deeper in the field, we were able to fight our way back toward the top-10.
“Avoiding that late accident was huge, and to come away with another top-10 and set a new team record means a lot. It’s the kind of consistency we need to carry through the Playoffs.”
