23XI Racing confirmed the driver change just ahead of the race. Burton, who won the 2024 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona, will take over for Herbst who qualified fifth but is unable to start the event.
Herbst's absence for the regular season finale comes as a surprise to fans, especially after his strong qualifying performance. Burton's experience at Daytona makes him a capable replacement for the high-stakes race. esporist.org
