On Friday afternoon, that trend continued. The Huntersville, North Carolina native paced the field with a lap of 122.787 mph (15.627 seconds) around the World’s Fastest Half-Mile in the one and only practice session for Saturday’s Zombie Auto 150.

In two previous K&N Pro East starts at Bristol, Burton started on the pole both times (2016 and 2017). His engine expired in the 2016 event, ending his afternoon prematurely. He won the rain-shortened race last year.

In the season-opening race at New Smyrna, Burton started first and finished third.

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series regular Noah Gragson was second fastest with a lap of 15.652 (122.591). In 2016, the Las Vegas, Nevada native started 14th and finished 12th in his only other K&N East start at Thunder Valley.


Tyler Dippel (15.664), Anthony Alfredo (15.668) and Brandon McReynolds (15.676) rounded out the top five when the 60-minute practice session concluded.

Two-time and reigning K&N Pro West champion Todd Gilliland, Cole Rouse, Spencer Davis, Tyler Ankrum and Derek Kraus completed the top 10.

The K&N Pro East will hit the track for group qualifying later on Friday at 6 p.m. ET, with the green flag for the Zombie Auto 150 scheduled to fly at 4 p.m. Saturday.
