Though [Harrrison] Burton can’t be specific at this point, he is optimistic about his future.

“I think I’ll be a race-car driver next year, so that’s great,” Burton said Wednesday during a celebration of the victory at the Wood Brothers shop in Mooresville, N.C. “I don’t know where exactly, or what series—I don’t know. I think it’s all fluid.

“I feel like (I’m getting) close to where I feel good about a couple things. I feel like I’m in a place now where the places I’m going to go in the future want me and genuinely want me as a race car driver to go and help them try to win races.”
