Harrison Burton

Harrison Brian Burton (born October 9, 2000) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, driving the No. 24 Toyota GR Supra for Sam Hunt Racing and part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 5 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for Tricon Garage. He is also the reserve driver for Legacy Motor Club in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2026. He is the son of former NASCAR driver Jeff Burton. In 2020, Burton became the first driver born in the 2000s or later to win a NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race, and in 2024 became the first to win a NASCAR Cup Series race.

Racing career Early years Burton's racing career started off when he received a go-kart at age two, which later turned into a quarter midget at age four. After starting to race them at age twelve, Burton won his first late model race in early 2014. His first super late model win came in early 2015, at New Smyrna Speedway. He was also for three years a USAC quarter midget championship. At the age of eleven, he grabbed his first late model pole at Ace Speedway, and at twelve won two races in pro late models.

CARS Super Late Model Tour The Charlotte, North Carolina native made his CARS debut in 2015, running six of the series' ten races. Finishing only two of those races, he finished third at Southern National Motorsports Park and fourth at Concord Speedway. In the middle of that season, the team switched car bodies and crew chiefs, hiring former Xfinity Series driver Chris Wimmer. Switching his focus to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, he only ran three of eight races in 2016, recording two top ten finishes.

ARCA Menards Series In his ARCA Racing Series debut for Ranier Racing with MDM, Burton started sixth and finished third after almost being spun out by eventual race winner Chase Briscoe. Returning in 2017 with MDM Motorsports, Burton chased down Dalton Sargeant on the final run of the race at Toledo Speedway to win in only his second series start. He later won in his superspeedway debut, which came at Pocono Raceway in 2018. Burton dedicated the win to John Andretti, who was battling colon cancer until his death in 2020.

On January 8, 2018, it was announced that Burton would run a partial ARCA schedule with MDM in 2018.

On January 10, 2019, it was announced that Burton would drive the Venturini Motorsports No. 20 Toyota for five races in 2019. Burton won on his superspeedway debut at Daytona.

K&N Pro Series East

Starting with the 2016 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season opener at New Smyrna, Burton became the youngest driver to start a race in the series. He also garnered a full-time ride from HScott Motorsports using their Toyotas. Throughout the thirteen-race season, Burton garnered one pole, as many top fives, and finished eighth in the championship point standings while failing to finish two races. After HScott Motorsports with Justin Marks shut down, Burton moved to MDM Motorsports bringing his number and sponsor. He also signed an extension with Kevin Harvick Incorporated to bring in sponsors like DEX Imaging, Hunt Brothers Pizza, Rheem and others. Early in the season, Burton made waves by campaigning a paint scheme with the number on the rear quarter panels. His performance also gained attention, winning a rain-shortened race at Bristol. He then outlasted the field at Memphis the following race after Todd Gilliland had a flat tire. He went on to win five of fourteen races that season and beat Gilliland for the championship after making up an eight-point deficit going into the final race.

On January 8, 2018, it was announced that Burton would drive a partial K&N season with MDM in 2018. He showed speed early, cracking the top ten in practice, but faltered during the race and finished one lap down in 22nd. In this race, Burton and Kyle Donahue (who was driving the No. 63 for MB Motorsports) made history as the first drivers born in the 2000s decade and the 21st century to compete in the Truck Series and in any NASCAR national series. Burton signed with Kyle Busch Motorsports to run both Martinsville races, as well as Dover, Iowa, Eldora, and Bristol in the No. 51 Toyota Tundra in 2017. He finished all of the races but only scored one top-ten, a fourth-place at Martinsville in fall.

On January 8, 2018, it was announced that Burton would again pilot the KBM No. 51 for a partial schedule. The nine-race schedule included mostly short tracks but also Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and all of the races after he turned eighteen. Burton grabbed his first pole in the M&M's 200, and finished third after dealing with throttle issues during the race. He won his first stage in NASCAR competition at ISM Raceway in November en route to another third-place finish.

On November 14, 2018, it was announced that Burton would run full-time in 2019, replacing Noah Gragson in KBM's No. 18 entry.

Burton would return to truck series competition in 2022, driving in a one-off race for David Gilliland Racing at the 2022 Pinty's Truck Race on Dirt.

In 2026, Burton would drive the No. 5 truck for Tricon Garage at IRP.

O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Burton's No. 20 car at Daytona International Speedway in 2020 On April 1, 2019, Joe Gibbs Racing announced Burton would drive the team's No. 18 Toyota Supra in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for eight races starting with the Alsco 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway five days later. In his third race of the year at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Burton was intentionally wrecked by Paul Menard after Burton passed Menard with contact. Menard thought the incident was a teaching moment not to race dirty, while Burton was of the viewpoint that getting passed was not grounds for being wrecked.

On October 17, 2019, with Christopher Bell moving up to the NASCAR Cup Series, JGR announced Burton would replace him in the No. 20 Supra for the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.

On February 29, 2020, Burton earned his first career Xfinity Series win at Auto Club Speedway after holding off teammate Riley Herbst; the win made him and father Jeff Burton the only son-and-father duo to ever win at Auto Club and the second driver to ever win on Leap Day with the first being his uncle Ward Burton at Rockingham Speedway in 1992. This also made Burton the first driver born in the 2000s to win in the Xfinity Series. He qualified for the Xfinity Series playoffs after scoring two wins in the regular season, but was eliminated after the first round. He later passed Noah Gragson in the final set of corners at Texas Motor Speedway to grab a late-season post-elimination win. A week later, Harrison would go on to win again at Martinsville.

Burton returned to JGR for a second straight year in 2021. He advanced one round further in the playoffs but went winless, once again finishing 8th in the point standings.

On September 20, 2024, AM Racing announced that Burton would return to the Xfinity Series and drive the team's No. 25 Ford Mustang Dark Horse full-time in the 2025 Xfinity Series season. Burton stayed consistent throughout the regular season with nine top tens, and gave AM Racing their first playoff appearance. He was eliminated from the playoffs at the conclusion of the Round of 12. On October 8, it was announced that Burton and AM will part ways after the season.

On October 25, Sam Hunt Racing announced that Burton will drive the team's No. 24 Toyota GR Supra full-time in the 2026 season.

Cup Series

On April 15, 2021, Gaunt Brothers Racing announced that Burton would make his Cup Series debut with the team in their No. 96 Toyota in the race at Talladega that month, with his Xfinity Series sponsor, DEX Imaging, as the sponsor. In this race, Burton would become the first driver born in the 2000s decade to run a Cup Series race.

On July 15, 2021, Burton was named the driver of Wood Brothers Racing's No. 21 Ford Mustang for the 2022 season, replacing Matt DiBenedetto. Burton led three laps in his full-time debut at the 2022 Daytona 500, but flipped during a multi-car accident on lap 63 and finished 39th. A few months later, at Atlanta Motor Speedway on July 10, 2022, Burton led seven laps and recorded his first career Cup Series top-ten result with a tenth-place outcome. Shortly afterward, Burton bested his Atlanta result with a 3rd place finish at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 31, 2022.

Burton began the 2023 season with a 26th-place finish at the 2023 Daytona 500. Poor finishes plagued the No. 21 team, with Burton only scoring two top-ten finishes through the entire season. He would go on to finish 31st in the final points standings.

Burton started the 2024 season with a 39th-place DNF at the 2024 Daytona 500. His best finish in the season was tenth at Talladega. On July 3, it was announced that Josh Berry would replace Burton in the No. 21 in 2025. At the Daytona summer race, Burton beat out Kyle Busch by 0.047 seconds and scored his first career Cup Series win with his father Jeff in the booth. His win was also the 100th Cup Series win for the Wood Brothers and their first win since Ryan Blaney at Pocono in 2017. His win also secured him a spot in the playoffs for the first time in his Cup career. Unfortunately, he was eliminated from the playoffs at the conclusion of the Round of 16. Overall, Burton finished sixteenth in the standings, having scored just two top tens across the entire season. His average finish of 25.7 proved to be the lowest of all full-time Cup Series drivers in 2024, as well as the lowest average finish of Burton's Cup career.

On May 12, 2025, Rick Ware Racing announced that Burton would drive their No. 51 car in the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race, as his win at the 2024 Daytona summer race qualified him for the exhibition race for the first time in his career. Cody Ware, the driver normally in the No. 51, switched to the No. 15 for the All-Star Open. Burton finished twentieth out of 23 participants.

In 2026, Burton became the reserve driver for Legacy Motor Club in the Cup Series. He was almost needed to finish the race at Circuit of the Americas in the No. 43 car in place of Erik Jones when he was not feeling well but Jones was able to finish the race.

Personal life Burton attended the Cannon School in Concord, North Carolina while racing. He is the son of former NASCAR driver and current NASCAR on NBC analyst Jeff Burton, nephew of former driver Ward Burton and cousin of current driver Jeb Burton.
