Harrison Burton: Third at Phoenix
Burton finished third in the Xfinity Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway Saturday night.
Analysis:
Overcoming a 36th-place starting spot on the grid, Burton would methodically work his way through the field. By stage 2 he would be racing inside the Top 10 and collect an eighth-place result in that stage. That good track position would hold for the final leg and Burton would continue to pick off positions. In the closing laps he would hold off Riley Herbst to collect the impressive third-place finish. It was his 10th Top-5 finish of the season.
