Driving his Summit Automotive Group, Don Ott Racing Engines-powered Maxim Chassis No. 2J, Blurton's best 2024 performance came at Big Sky Speedway with a second-place finish. As a family team with just one additional crew member, Blurton balances his racing career with a full-time job.

For 2025, Blurton's primary focus is on qualifying performance, recognizing its crucial role in race night success. "Qualifying makes your whole night a lot easier. Every night we qualified good, we had decent runs," he explains.

The team's key sponsors include Summit Automotive Group, Lee Martin Racing, Grease Monkey, and various local partners. Blurton will begin his 2025 campaign at the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park, running January 30 through February 1.
