When Harrison Burton first joined the Wood Brothers ahead of the 2022 season, one word was on his mind: legacy. “It’s definitely a cool opportunity and a big responsibility to carry on that legacy, and do it the right way. That’s not lost on me,” he said before the season began.“I’ve always put that same pressure on myself to perform and do well."
If you're not steeped in NASCAR history, Burton's talk about feeling pressure to perform while driving the No. 21 car would have sounded a bit strange. Wood Brothers Racing appears to be just another single-car team that somehow nabs a rare win every decade or so. But, like Williams in Formula 1, it's a team that's left tire marks all over the sport's history books.
