Brandon Harrison and Family
Team Working Hard for More Super Cup Success
Skyland,
North Carolina (March 31, 2015) – One staple since almost the
beginning of the Super Cup Stock Car Series has been the presence of
the Harrison family from deep in the valley of West Virginia.
2015 will be no different with three family members intending
to run the full schedule once again, and perhaps looking forward to
it the most is the youngest member of the racing family Brandon
Harrison.
The driver in his mid-20s
will return to racing on a full time basis after very limited starts
in the last couple seasons. Brandon
got back in a rhythm quickly at the final race of 2014 with a top
five qualifying effort and although his race was cut short after
being collected in a wreck, he is optimistic heading into the season
opener. “I am excited to be back
on my feet with my life, and I am ready to have a breakout
season,” said Brandon.
Although Brandon has never
been to CNB Bank Raceway Park, he enjoys the style that the facility
has to offer.
"I like these big
tracks,” mentioned Brandon. “They
are more of an equalizer and are easier to driver, honestly.
We scaled the car to get it close to where (father Harvey and
older brother Brian’s) are at.
We’ll talk and communicate on practice day to adjust on it.
We do pretty good with what we’ve got.”
In addition to his father
and brother, Brandon has relied on the 2014 champion JJ Pack for
advice and plans to use what he has learned over the last few years
toward his 2015 effort.
“People will help you and
they’re all like family in the Super Cup Series,” said Brandon.
“JJ has told me things like ‘hit all your marks and let
it roll into the corners’ to help me out.
I want to be competitive, be in the hunt, and maybe win my
first one. Patience is
the key. I need to be
smarter and save the car.”
The patriarch of
Harrison’s Motorsports, three-time series winner Harvey Harrison,
has been hard at work in the shop preparing their cars for
competition. Harvey
finished fourth in the final standings in 2014, but it was a rough
road to get there after various mechanical problems sidelined him
early on a couple occasions.
Meanwhile, Harvey’s oldest
son Brian has momentum riding in his favor after leading laps and
finishing runner up in the 2014 finale. He
appears hungry to get his first career series victory and contend
for the championship in 2015 after a promising 2014 season was
interrupted in the middle of the year when a hand injury in the shop
took him out of the driver’s seat.
Despite the long travel from
their home, the team that often tows the most cars to each event
continues competing in the Super Cup Stock Car Series for many
reasons.
“It’s the most
affordable thing you can do,” added Brandon.
“I like how we can leave it all on the racetrack.
We’re all friends after the race is over.”

continue to talk about their preparations and intentions to compete
