Harrison Burton (born October 9, 2000) is an American professional driver. The son of former NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Jeff Burton, he currently competes full-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, driving the No. 12 Toyota Camry for MDM Motorsports, and part-time in the Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 51 Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports.
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 age 11, he grabbed his first late model pole at Ace Speedway, and at twelve won two races in pro late models.
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.
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.
