With a final-lap pass on two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, Harrison Burton was able to catapult himself into Victory Lane for the first time in his career and ensure that his name will be forever etched in Wood Brothers Racing history.

The driver of the No. 21 DEX Imaging Ford Mustang Dark Horse led just one lap all evening, the final one, en route to the long-awaited 100th win for Wood Brothers Racing, NASCAR’s longest-running organization.

“It’s unbelievable,” Burton said after the race. “It’s been the toughest three years of my life, obviously the toughest three years for some of these guys. To win like we just did and beat the best in the business, Kyle Busch, at the finish line is just amazing.”

The 23-year-old driver is now nearing the end of his third season in the NASCAR Cup Series and has endured many hardships along the way, having only one top-five finish and five top-10 finishes during his time with the Penske team.

“I don’t know. I cried the whole victory lap,” Burton said when asked about the meaning of that win. “Obviously, I got fired from that job. I wanted to do everything I could for the Wood Brothers. They gave me an incredible opportunity in life. For me to give them 100 points on the way out is unbelievable. We’re in the playoffs now. Let’s go to Darlington and see what happens.”

With his victory, Burton not only secures a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs from a stunning 34th place in the points standings, but also becomes the first driver born after January 1, 2000, to triumph at NASCAR’s highest level.

Kyle Busch achieved his best result of the season with second place in Saturday’s race, missing out on a place in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs by 0.047 seconds and continuing his 19-year winning streak with a win in the top NASCAR league.

Christopher Bell capped off a quiet day with a third-place finish, while Cody Ware put together a masterful drive for Rick Ware Racing, earning the organization’s best finish in the NASCAR Cup Series with a fourth-place finish. Ty Gibbs rounded out the top five.

Bubba Wallace finished sixth and travels to Darlington well below the cut line despite a significant score, 21 points behind Chris Buescher.

Parker Retzlaff brought his No. 62 FUNKAWAY Chevrolet Camaro to the finish line in seventh place, securing a top-10 finish in just his second start in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Brad Keselowski recovered from a late race restart rule violation to finish eighth for RFK Racing. Daniel Hemric was ninth for Kaulig Racing and Chris Buescher rounded out the top 10.

After leaving Daytona, Tyler Reddick holds a 17-point lead in the regular season standings, ahead of Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott, who is in third place but 18 points behind Darlington.
