🇺🇸 Harrison Burton

Harrison Burton is an established professional competing full-time in NASCAR Xfinity for Sam Hunt Racing, driving the Toyota GR Supra, and holding a reserve role in the NASCAR Cup Series with Legacy Motor Club. He has raced stock cars and sports cars across eleven seasons since 2016, with 312 starts yielding 9 wins and 32 podiums.[1]

Burton's record spans five championships. He began in ARCA Menards in 2016, taking three wins and eight podiums across 17 starts in an amateur-to-professional field. His early success led to NASCAR Truck racing with Kyle Busch Motorsports, where he earned six podiums from 39 starts, predominantly on ovals. He has competed in NASCAR Cup Series since 2021, recording one win and three podiums across 117 starts, though he has spent considerably more time in Xfinity, where he has taken four wins and 14 podiums in 134 starts since 2019. A brief venture into Trans-Am TA2 in 2021 produced no results. He also contested IMSA Pilot Challenge in the GS class in 2022 and 2023, winning once from two starts in shared-car endurance racing.[2]

His NASCAR racing centers on ovals; across his Cup, Xfinity, Truck and ARCA careers, he has started 267 oval races and only 13 on road and street courses. In Xfinity he typically finishes mid-field against a regular roster that includes established champions. Austin Cindric, a two-time Xfinity champion and rival across multiple series, has usually beaten him; Justin Haley, a professional of comparable standing, remains closely matched. Against elite-level opposition Burton has occasionally finished ahead of drivers of considerably higher standing, including elite professional Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell, both Cup Series champions, though such results remain the exception rather than the pattern. He made a one-off Cup Series start for 23XI Racing at Daytona in August 2026, substituting for an injured driver.
