Toyota Racing NCS Post-Race Recap -- Talladega 4.25.21

HARRISON BURTON, No. 96 DEX Imaging Toyota Camry, Gaunt Brothers Racin - Finishing Position: 20th -- Top-20 in you first career Cup Series race. How was the run overall?“It was a lot of learning. It was pretty fun, just a different level of competition when you’re against these guys. It makes you better when you go back to Xfinity, hopefully, and it makes me a better driver. Just happy I had the chance to come out here and do it. I very rarely get emotional or that excited before races, because I’m so focused but this weekend was pretty neat. I’m thankful for the opportunity to do it. It was pretty awesome and can’t wait to do it again someday.”

 Was there anything that surprised you?

“I think just the way that the runs come. Talladega is so tough in general. It’s just a lot going on at once. Learning a new team, spotter and crew chief with all of that going on too is a big challenge, but it was the same but different, if that makes any sense at all. It was definitely different. The level of intensity was different, but the main fundamentals are basically the same.”
