Harrison Burton qualified 13th for this weekend's Food City 500, giving him his best starting position on a short track in his Cup career. But while he seems to have slightly improved since 2023 (if only because the Penske cars seem to be a little faster), his short track performance has not been up to snuff. Short tracks are the only track type where Burton has never posted a top-10 finish nor led a lap amongst track types where he has ten or more starts. Additionally, his speed percentile on short tracks last year was only 14.69, which was significantly worse than his already weak overall speed percentile of 22.89. His best Bristol finish was a mere 15th and that came on the dirt track, not the paved surface that the Cup Series will be racing on this weekend. There's little reason to expect a good run from him in this race.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
