News and Notes:
– Practice; After the completion of NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) technical inspection Friday afternoon, the field of 39 NXS cars would be split in two groups for a pair of 15-minute practice sessions. Scheduled in Group 2 alongside his teammate, Jeb Burton would record a fast lap of 20.797 at 91.052 mph on Lap-12 of his 19-lap session placing the State Water Heaters Chevrolet Camaro SS 27th fastest overall.
– Starting Position; At the conclusion of practice, teams would be given ten minutes to make adjustments, change tires, and add fuel prior to moving into qualifying to determine the starting order for Saturday’s Dead On Tools 250. In 2023, short-track qualifying would consist of a single round of single car qualifying for two laps. During practice Burton would encounter a mechanical issue and the No. 27 crew would need to go behind the wall to make repairs forfeiting its qualifying position. Relying on an Owner’s Point’s professional Burton will line up Outside Row 19 for Saturday’s Dead On Tools 250.
– Martinsville Speedway Stats; Making his seventh NXS start at Martinsville Speedway, Burton holds an average finish of 18.2 in six previous starts. Capturing a career best 4th place finish in October of 2020. Burton holds a 95.5% lap completion rate with 1468 laps completed of the attempted 1537. In April’s Call 811 Before You Dig 250 Burton would qualify in the 31st position and fight thru the field the entire day to come away with a 14th place finish. Last season’s (2022) Dead On Tool’s 250 would see Burton qualify in the 11th position and avoid all the carnage to finish right where he started in the 11th spot. In six starts Burton has one Top-5 finish, and four Top-15 finishes at Martinsville Speedway.
