Heath Harrison

#V53

Heath Harrison drives the #V53 Hobby Stock Class car.  His home track is Blackbird Bend Speedway but he can also be found racing at Riviera Raceway.  He lives in Thurston, NE.

Team members helping Heath are:  Matt Prokopel, Dayrl Harrison (car owner), Hank Scott, Adam Epoletto, Dan Blevins, Timmy Far, Connie Menke and Jan Harrison.

He started racing in 2003 in the Cruiser Class at Blackbird Bend Speedway because he always wanted to have a motor to stand out without all the wear and tear like 1/4 mile.  His first win was in 2005 in the Hobby Stock Class at Riviera Speedway.  Career highlights include finishing 16th in the Points out of 63 in his first year in the Hobby Stock Class. 

The thrill of racing for Heath is throwing the car into the corner.  His most exciting racing moment was when he drove around Jim Kimmil, 17K.  He's most proud of his first win at Riviera on the high side. 

Heath's racing heroes are Cale Yarborough and Rusty Wallace.
