● Homestead-Miami Speedway | Hard Rock Bet 300 Race Recap: The solo trip to South Florida brought the Hard Rock 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race to life on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
After a solid practice, Burton qualified his No. 25 Dex Imaging Ford Mustang in the 12th position.
From the drop of the green flag, Burton hovered inside the top 15 despite battling a tight race car.
Adjustments from crew chief Danny Efland allowed Burton to battle inside the top-10 throughout Stages 2 and 3. Still, Burton didn’t have the grip he needed on older tires to earn his fourth top-10 finish of the season and instead settled for a solid 11th-place finish at the checkered flag.
