After a sixth-place finish at Darlington, HBurtonRacing believes “things are starting to click' for the woodbrothers21 team. 'Things are coming easier. We’ve just got to keep this going.” NASCAR
Burton, in his sophomore season in the NASCAR Cup Series, had had a tough start to the year. He was mired in 31st in the series standings with a best finish of 15th entering last weekend’s race at Darlington Raceway.He qualified a season’s best 14th and ran strong in the race, finishing 11th in the first stage, dropped to 18th in Stage 2 before rallying back into the top 10 late in the race.
“I felt like we kind of just bounced around 15th after we lost the top 10 track position early on pit road. That was a mixture of my fault and the pit crew, so it’s kind of nice we got the last caution, and it was a chance for both of us to redeem ourselves,” Burton said. “That’s been our goal as of late is to try and run with those guys and, relative to them, we were right there. It’s a good day for us and something to build on.”Ryan Blaney led the Penske trio with a ninth-place finish while Joey Logano and Austin Cindric ended up 18th and 19th. Logano had worked his way up front late in the race but got involved in a wreck with Martin Truex Jr., which brought out the next-to-last caution.
