Burton’s First Career Win At Daytona Sends Him To Playoffs
The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series regular season’s penultimate race at Daytona International Speedway was a thrilling, crash-filled event that saw Harrison Burton secure his first career Cup Series win and a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. With multiple playoff positions up for grabs, the intensity was palpable, and Daytona did not disappoint.
Seven caution periods decimated nearly half of the field, including championship leaders Tyler Reddick, Chase Elliott, and Kyle Larson. Kyle Busch, searching for his first win of the year, led the thinned-out field in overtime, but Burton made a stunning pass on the final lap to take the checkered flag.
Burton’s emotional victory came with a poignant twist, as he will be leaving Wood Brothers Racing at the end of the season. His win marked the team’s 100th victory in their history, making it an unforgettable moment for Burton and his crew.

“It’s been the hardest three years of my life and some of these guys’ lives,” Burton said, gesturing to his team. “To win in the way that we just did and beat the best in the business, Kyle Busch, across the line, it’s pretty fantastic.”
With three spots still remaining in contention, the regular season finale in Darlington promises to be an electrifying conclusion to the season. Will Burton’s momentum carry him through the playoffs, or will other drivers capitalize on the remaining opportunities? The NASCAR Cup Series continues to deliver heart-stopping action and unexpected twists.
