Burton, who claimed 21 wins and earned the 1994 Rookie of the Year award, contributed six Cup victories in 1999 and remains a respected figure in the sport.
Phillips, a pioneer whose career spanned multiple surfaces, is credited with an estimated 1,000 to 2,000 wins, a testament to his versatility and longevity.
Lesa France Kennedy, executive vice chair of NASCAR, received the Landmark Award for her contributions to the sport, underscoring her pivotal role in the series’ growth.
