Harrison Burton will take on the challenge of Daytona International Speedway this weekend as he begins another NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series (NOAPS) campaign with the No. 24 Dead On Tools GR Supra. The much-anticipated United Rentals 300 kicks off Saturday evening in Daytona, Florida, with the green flag scheduled to drop at 5:00pm ET and live coverage airing on the CW Network. Burton’s record at Daytona makes him a key contender as he returns to the superspeedway under the lights.
A Memorable Past Victory Sets the Stage
Burton’s connections to Daytona International Speedway are highlighted by his standout victory there in the summer of 2024 during his tenure as a full-time NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) driver from 2022 through 2024. That checkered flag finish at Daytona marked a defining achievement for Burton, providing momentum and experience as he enters his fourth full-time NOAPS season.
Consistent Superspeedway Performance
With six career NOAPS starts at Daytona International Speedway, Burton is considered a “veteran” by many in the paddock at only 25 years old. He has posted an impressive average finish of 6.8, led a total of 38 laps on the superspeedway, and maintained a clean record by completing all possible laps without recording a single DNF in those races. This consistency has established Burton as a reliable and skillful racer each time he returns to the Florida circuit.
Team Success and Key Partnerships
Sam Hunt Racing, the team fielding Burton’s No. 24 car, brings its own Daytona experience, having made 14 starts at the famed track and secured three top-10 finishes overall. Notably, teammate Dean Thompson posted the team’s best Daytona result, taking seventh place at the summer event in 2025. The team’s strengthened support comes from Dead On Tools, the precision tool brand set to serve as the primary partner for Burton’s No. 24 entry. Earlier this year, Dead On Tools confirmed a 12-race primary sponsorship campaign with both Burton and Sam Hunt Racing for the NOAPS season.
Outlook for the New Season
Entering this season, Harrison Burton stands out among the lineup at Daytona International Speedway thanks to both his consistency and prior success. Supported by Sam Hunt Racing and the partnership with Dead On Tools, Burton’s return to the superspeedway marks a promising start to his NOAPS season, with fans eager to see if he can once again find Victory Lane in Florida. As the team looks to build on previous performances, the stage is set for another memorable chapter at Daytona.
