● Phoenix Raceway | GOVX 200 Race Recap: The start of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season continued last weekend with the first of two trips to Arizona at the coveted Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway.
After a solid practice effort, Burton and the AM Racing team delivered the 21st quickest lap in qualifying.
From the drop of the green flag, Burton, despite battling a tight-handling No. 25 DEX Imaging Ford Mustang, was able to run competitively inside the top 15 and even contended for his third top-10 Xfinity Series finish of the year.
However, a restart in overtime stalled the high line, dropping Burton from inside the top 15 to a 20th-place result in the two-lap shootout.
