Harrison Burton will drive full-time in the Xfinity Series for AM Racing in 2025, the team announced.
Burton, who faces elimination in Saturday night’s Cup playoff race at Bristol, stays in the Ford camp with the move.
Burton was in need of a ride after Wood Brothers Racing previously announced he would not be back with the team after this season. Josh Berry will drive for the Wood Brothers next year.
