Harrison Burton Steps In at Daytona | F1 News
Description
Riley Herbst, who qualified fifth, is sitting out this weekend’s Daytona NASCAR Cup race due to lingering injuries from a brutal crash at New Hampshire — one that involved Michael McDowell and Connor Zilisch. Taking his place in the No. 35 Toyota is Harrison Burton, who won the Coke Zero Sugar 400 here last year and returns to Cup racing for the first time since 2024 with Wood Brothers. With Herbst exiting 23XI Racing at season’s end and Corey Heim set to take over in 2027, Burton now inherits the car — and starts from the rear of the field — but gets a huge opportunity to shine as he competes full-time in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Safety first, but this swap could be a career-defining moment for Burton.
