The record had been standing since 2005.

From the Cockpit:
Harrison Burton:
10 races into your rookie campaign in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and you have scored top 10 finishes in every event. Assess your season so far.
“I think we want a little more raw speed. We want to win more stages, things like that. I still haven’t won a stage – won two races but haven’t won a stage. Got to find a way to get those Playoff points, they are really important come later in the year. We saw last year with (Tyler) Reddick, (Cole) Custer and (Christopher) Bell, all of those guys were pretty much locked in though the first round of the Playoffs, and that’s because they the stage points and the points from winning. We’ve got to get a little bit more dominate, a little bit more aggressive early in the race, and somehow be a little faster. That’s my main goal now – to fire off faster and try to be aggressive from the start and hopefully, get more dominate. I’m looking forward to Talladega this weekend to hopefully continue our momentum and come away with another good finish for Morton Buildings, DEX Imaging and everyone who makes it possible for me to race every weekend.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
