Harrison Burton Not a Master of Richmond Unlike Father Jeff
9 months agoAlthough Jeff Burton led more laps at Richmond International Raceway than any other track, his son Harrison has not been nearly as successful. Although Harrison Burton has finished all four of his Richmond starts, he has never finished better than 18th or led a lap in any of his Richmond races to date. This weekend, after qualifying 29th in a race where the Fords seem to be slower than the Toyotas and the Chevrolets, it seems extremely unlikely that Harrison will contend, especially after finishing 27th and 32nd in the last two races on shorter ovals at Phoenix and Bristol. His race in the previous short track race at Bristol was faster than usual, as his speed percentile of 41.18 was his second-best this season, but last year his speed percentile on short tracks was 14.69. Don't expect much from Burton on Sunday.
