There is perhaps no driver that has experienced more of a roller coaster NASCAR career in the last five years than second-generation racer Harrison Burton. In 2020, the Huntersville, N.C. native was one of the most exciting driving prospects in the sport of stock car racing.

LEBANON, Tenn. — When Kyle Larson parked his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on the Nashville Superspeedway pit road on Sunday, June 1, it didn’t look like a car that was supposed to finish in the top 10.

INDIANAPOLIS — NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson could only look at his mangled No. 17 Arrow McLaren IndyCar with disappointment on Sunday, May 25.

In 2008, the Wood Brothers Racing team was at what is perhaps one of the lowest points of its 75-year history. The team made only 28 starts during the 36-race season that year, with its only top 10 coming from a third-place finish from road course ace Marcos Ambrose. However, even that didn’t really count, as the Australian’s No. 47 entry was funded by Tad Geschickter’s JTG Daugherty Racing outfit.
