Harrison Burton and the No. 21 DEX Imaging team avoided the potential pitfalls that come with racing on the ROVAL at Charlotte Motor Speedway and scored a 20th place finish in Sunday’s Bank of America ROVAL 400.
It was Burton’s 13th finish of 25th or better this season.
Burton started the 109-lap race from 26th place and made his first pit stop, under the green flag, on Lap 20. He dropped from 25th to 31st place, but when other drivers pitted after the conclusion of the opening 25-lap Stage he moved up to 23rd place for the restart.
The DEX Imaging team elected to pit at Lap 36 and again at Lap 45 in Stage Two before ending that 25-lap segment in 33rd place.
Once again, he moved up when others pitted after the end of the Stage, and he restarted from 20th place.
In the final segment of the race, he ran inside the top 25 for the majority of that run and made his final pit stop at Lap 77 from 11th place.
He rejoined the race in 29th place and worked his way up to 20th at the finish.
Burton and the No. 21 Wood Brothers team now turn their attention to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and next Sunday’s South Point 400.
