Harrison Burton will have a new team in 2026, the 24-year-old announced this week. Burton, who won a Nascar Cup Series race with Wood Brothers Racing in 2024, joined AM Racing in 2025 to compete in the Xfinity Series.
Burton elevated the team greatly in 2025, qualifying for the playoffs in the No. 25 car after the team finished 32nd in owner points the year prior.
“I want to thank AM Racing, Tim Self (owner), and Wade Moore (team president) for the opportunity and trust at a pivotal moment in my career after I lost my Cup seat entering 2025,” Burton said. “From day one, the group’s commitment and preparation helped us deliver tangible progress.”
Burton was left with several options after the Wood Brothers let him go in place of Josh Berry, who also won a race with the team in 2025.
It is unknown where Burton will race in 2026.
Burton has a pair of top fives and 10 top 10s for AM Racing, a small single-car effort that heavily relies on Haas Factory Team for support.
“The organization thanks Harrison and the Burton family for their professionalism and contributions on and off the track, and wishes them continued success in Harrison’s future endeavors,” AM Racing said in a statement. “AM Racing will share additional updates regarding 2026 driver and program plans at a later date.”
Burton is backed by longtime partner DEX Imaging, though it is unclear if the firm will continue to sponsor him in 2026.
Before making the jump to the Cup Series, he competed for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Xfinity Series. He won four races with JGR in 2020 and finished eighth in the 2020 and 2021 standings with 22 top 10s in each season.
