Harrison Burton and the No. 21 DEX Imaging Mustang finished 20th in Monday’s rain-delayed Wurth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway.
It was his fourth top-20 finish of the season and his third in the past five races.
Burton started Monday’s 400-miler from 31stplace after qualifying was rained out and the starting line-up was set by metrics.
He was back in 35thwhen the Competition Caution flag flew at Lap 20 but had bounced back to 24that Lap 85 when the caution flag was displayed for a crash involving Kyle Larson.
Burton pitted under the ensuing yellow flag and moved up to 21stby Lap 120 when the first Stage came to a conclusion.
When the second Stage ended at Lap 250, Burton was again in 21stplace but one lap behind the leaders.
Burton broke into the top 20 as the third and final segment of the race got underway. He was running 19thwhen he headed to pit road for a green-flag stop with 72 laps remaining but spun as he entered pit road.
He was able to get the DEX Imaging Mustang turned around with no damage but dropped to 21stplace, three laps behind.
With 43 laps remaining, he rejoined the top 20 and was running 20thwhen Joey Logano crashed to bring out the yellow flag with 14 laps remaining. Taking the wave-around allowed Burton to regain one of his lost laps, and he finished the race in 20thplace.
Burton and the No. 21 Wood Brothers team now turn their attention to Sunday’s Advent Health 400 at Kansas Speedway.
