NASCAR’s Harrison Burton discusses his Xfinity Series move and Netflix’s Full Speed, aiming for progress after a challenging 2024 season.
Harrison Burton, the 24-year-old NASCAR driver, is hitting the reset button after a tough 2024 Cup Series season. Finishing 16th in the standings, with a highlight win at Daytona’s Coke Zero 400, wasn’t enough to keep him at Wood Brothers Racing. But Burton’s not dwelling on the past. He’s now tearing up the Xfinity Series with AM Racing, racking up six top-10 finishes, including his last three races. "This team’s rebuilding around me," Burton said, describing the move as a chance to sharpen his skills and boost his stock.
Burton’s journey also gets the spotlight in Netflix’s Full Speed, a docuseries peeling back the curtain on NASCAR’s high-octane world. He’s thrilled about the exposure, noting it helps fans grasp the mental and physical grind of racing—something you can’t just pick up like a basketball. "It’s one in 40 odds to win, like golf," he said, emphasizing progress over perfection. With momentum building, Burton’s eyes are set on the winner’s circle, driven by sacrifice and relentless work.

Burton’s shift to Xfinity is like a pit stop for his career—new tires, full tank, ready to race. Why did NASCAR’s young gun trade Cup for Xfinity? Because sometimes you gotta downshift to win the long haul. And that Netflix glow? It’s like putting a V8 engine in a go-kart—pure overkill, but it gets eyes on the track!
