<p>TALLADEGA, Ala. — Jeb Burton raced to his first NASCAR Xfinity Series victory when rain halted the action with 23 laps left at Talladega Superspeedway.</p>
<p>Burton passed cousin Harrison Burton on the inside on Lap 82 and stayed up front before a seven-car wreck forced a caution and heavy rain sent the cars to pit road.</p>
<p>It was the third straight win at Talladega for Kaulig Racing, with teammate Justin Haley sweeping the two 2020 races. </p>
<p>Series points leader Austin Cindric was second after starting in the pole position, followed by Burton’s teammate, AJ Allmendinger.</p>
<p>The biggest wreck of the day happened Joe Graf Jr., who appeared to have a flat tire, drifted up the track into Brandon Jones. </p>
<p>Burton, the son of former NASCAR driver Ward Burton, had opened the season with three straight top-five finishes. But he had only led a pair of laps this season coming into Talladega.</p>
<p>Burton fought back tears after soaking in the drought-breaking win.</p>
<p>“I’m trying hard not to cry,” he said. “These guys deserved to win.”</p>
<p>Burton, who has made 30 Cup Series starts, had one win at Texas in the Truck Series in 2013.</p>
<p>Noah Gragson won the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash prize after finishing sixth. Jones, Josh Berry and Daniel Hemric also had been in contention.</p>
