[autotag]Harrison Burton[/autotag] entered his second full-time NASCAR Cup Series season with optimism that he would improve; however, the Wood Brothers Racing driver didn’t see much success. Burton ended the year with two top-10 finishes and a 24.7 average finishing position. The driver of the No. 21 car finished 31st in the point standings, which is a career-low.
Burton’s year was highlighted by a best finish of sixth place at Darlington Raceway in the spring. The Wood Brothers Racing driver didn’t have the speed to compete and only had one top-15 finish in the last 16 races. Needless to say, Burton really struggled in his sophomore season, and an improvement in performance needs to happen soon.
The 23-year-old driver needs to improve, or he could be entering his final season with Wood Brothers Racing. The performance of the No. 21 Cup car has been downright shocking, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a change made for 2025. However, Burton can put these rumors to rest with several good runs next season.
