Harrison Burton and the No. 21 DEX Imaging team are hoping to capitalize on the speed they’ve shown in recent weeks as they compete in Sunday’s South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Crew chief Jeremy Bullins said the finishing order of the past two races doesn’t reflect how fast the DEX Imaging Mustang Dark Horse had been at Talladega Superspeedway and the ROVAL at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
“We certainly feel like we’ve had pretty competitive cars the last couple of weeks,” Bullins said. “Obviously we got caught up in a wreck at Talladega with a good car, and overcame a couple of stop-and-go penalties at the ROVAL to finish 20th, but I feel like we have some momentum building as we close the season out.
“This will be our third week in a row with a fast-looking DEX Imaging Mustang scheme, and hopefully we can gamble our way to a solid finish in Las Vegas.”
Practice for the South Point 400 is set for Saturday at 1:35 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (4:35 Eastern Time) to be followed by qualifying at 2:20. USA Network will carry the TV broadcast.
Sunday’s 400.5-mile, 267-lap race is scheduled to get the green flag just after 11:30 a.m. local time (2:30 p.m. Eastern) with TV coverage on NBC. Stage breaks are planned for Laps 80 and 165.
