Harrison Burton took the inside line on the way to the lead in the final lap, and held on to win the Xfinity Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
MIAMI — A late caution flag gave Harrison Burton new life, and he took advantage.
Burton, Gragson and Austin Cindric were three-wide going into that last lap, and it was Burton — the 19-year-old son of former Cup star Jeff Burton, who wound up in front in a wild finish. Cindric was second and Gragson third, two spots ahead of Earnhardt — part of his car’s JR Motorsports ownership. It was shaping up to be a runaway, with Gragson leading by more than 10 seconds before a caution came out with about seven laps remaining. But he couldn’t recapture that magic on the restart, and what would have been his third win of the season quickly slipped away.It was Earnhardt’s third Xfinity Series appearance since retiring as a full-time Cup Series driver in 2017. He’s been top-five in all three of those cameos, and was sitting second behind only Gragson when that late flag came out.
