Harrison Burton admits "it's healthy to be frustrated" despite matching AM Racing's 2024 season record in just two races

Harrison Burton shared his thoughts after making his debut for AM Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at the Atlanta Motor Speedway race. After departing from Wood Brothers Racing last year, the 24-year-old Burton started his Xfinity campaign strong with two top-10 finishes in the season's first two races.

With two Xfinity races done and dusted for the 2025 season, the North Carolina native matched two top 10 records by AM Racing last season, which was secured by Joey Logano in a part-time stint after Deegan's departure.

In a post-race conversation at Atlanta, Burton was asked to shed light upon his two impressive starts this year with a completely new team. Burton said:

"This is our own fresh start, our new race team's fresh start, And yes, it is a great sign of progress... To me it's about this year, it doesn't really matter about last year."

He continued:

"We've got the guys capable to win races, so I'm a little frustrated. I mean, I feel like I could have done a better job today, so that's frustrating me, but, you know, like you said, it's a good step forward and this is a healthy thing. It's not a, I'm mad at the world, it's healthy to be frustrated when you're a competitor and you want more. So that's what we're going to keep doing and try to get better and try to win these races. We're capable of doing that."

After three full-time seasons in NASCAR's premier division driving the No. 21 Ford for Wood Brothers, Burton stepped down the ladder and transitioned to the Xfinity series. He then replaced Hailie Deegan at AM Racing for a full-time schedule and took the reins of the No. 25 Ford.
