Harrison Burton, the 13-year-old son of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Jeff Burton, will compete at South Boston Speedway for the first time in Saturday night’s 150-lap PASS Super Late Model race. He has competed in two PASS Super Late Model races this season and has one top-five finish and one top-10 finish to his credit. Burton’s father, Jeff, has won eight NASCAR Late Model Stock Car Division races at South Boston Speedway, and his uncle, Ward Burton, has four career NASCAR Late Model Stock Car Division race wins at the .4-mile oval. With them and Ward Burton’s son, Jeb, who competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and has competed at South Boston Speedway in the Late Model Stock Car Division ranks this season, the young racer will have plenty of resources available to aid in his learning curve on the South Boston Speedway layout.(Gazette-Virginian)(6-6-2014)
