Burton's team held him back and cheered for him when the red flag was out. He lost his front bumper, losing his cool on the team radio, but it sought to divert his attention, cheering him up. The former Wood Brothers Racing driver tweeted:

"Shout out to the @AMRacingNASCAR boys and girls who knew I needed cheering up lol."

Harrison Burton had a solid start and qualified fifth for the race. He was 0.18 seconds behind JR Motorsports prodigy Connor Zilisch. However, he dropped several spots and finished stage one P17, falling eight more to P25 in stage two.

The #25 Ford driver made a comeback in the final stage of the race and moved up multiple spots. He closely missed securing a top-10 finish at 11th. Richard Childress Racing's Austin Hill won, earning 44 points.

I’m really motivated. I know that I can do it; I know I can be a Cup driver. That’s still my goal. I’ve got to rework my way up there, get an opportunity, and go take advantage of it."
