Harrison Burton not returning to AM Racing in 2026

Harrison Burton and AM Racing will part ways for the 2026 O’Reilly Auto Parts season, the two sides announced on Wednesday afternoon.

“I want to thank AM Racing, Tim Self (owner), and Wade Moore (team president) for the opportunity and trust at a pivotal moment in my career after I lost my Cup seat entering 2025,” Burton said in a social media post. “From day one, the group’s commitment and preparation helped us deliver tangible progress.”

Burton qualified for the 2025 Xfinity Series Playoffs with AM Racing after the team finished 32nd in the 2024 owners standings. Through 29 races, Burton has set a team record for top-five finishes (two), top-10 finishes (10) and the 14.8 average finishing position is also on pace to shatter the organization’s previous best.

“The organization thanks Harrison and the Burton family for their professionalism and contributions on and off the track, and wishes them continued success in Harrison’s future endeavors,” AM Racing said in a post. “AM Racing will share additional updates regarding 2026 driver and program plans at a later date.”

Burton stated he will announced his 2026 plans at a later date.
