Frontstretch Line of the Week

From Harrison Burton Learning the Little Things in Growth as a Cup Driver

"I think the biggest thing is how to race in [Cup]. I was expecting it to not be as aggressive as the other series, and I’ve found that it’s been more aggressive than any series I’ve ever been in.

"So just upping the aggression level has been good and [learning] how to pass. This change with this car, I think the things you need to be good at have changed, so learning those things and kind of building your weekend up around those things has been a good thing to learn." - Harrison Burton on what has changed for him in the NASCAR Cup Series this year.
