It’s time to meet the other side of the Burton family. We travel to the Burton residence in Huntersville, N.C. to meet Harrison Burton, son of the well-respected former NASCAR Cup Series driver Jeff Burton. From an outside perspective, Harrison's path to the top of the sport appears as smooth as all children of famous racing parents seem to have it. However, the real, raw and emotional stories that his family shares in this episode reveals otherwise: Being pushed to his physical limits; A Cup Series champion questioning his ability; Standing up for himself when a rival takes a swing. Harrison’s journey has lacked explanation until now and it isn’t anything like you’re expecting.

The story of the Burton family has deep roots in small-town South Boston, Virginia. It’s where we travel to meet Jeb Burton for a brutally honest reflection of his upbringing and racing career. Growing up as the son of NASCAR legend Ward Burton, Jeb’s childhood was bound to be different. Spending his formative years in the driver motorhome lot at race tracks steered his life's direction, while also getting him in trouble. Most racers these days climb behind the wheel at an extremely young age but Jeb started competing later than most, and it’s something that Ward regrets. Once he made it on track, Jeb proved that he shares his family’s racing talents and quickly ascended to NASCAR’s top ranks. However, as quickly as he rose and experienced success, he descended as racing’s cutthroat nature and challenging economic climate set in. The path back to a stable, competitive opportunity wasn’t easy, and shines a light on an under-told story in the NASCAR world of struggle and hardship. This process took an extreme emotional toll on his family, leading them to question everything while facing a grim reality.
