Jenna Petty, who is the fiancé of Harrison Burton, recently shared a post in support of Burton after the first playoff race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. The driver for the Wood Brothers Racing team ended up having a disappointing race after he saw himself in a last-lap crash.
Petty and Burton have been in a relationship since 2017 and the couple got engaged this year itself. Petty is a graduate of High Point University and is a dancer for Dance Productions named The Remix.

For the upcoming season, Harrison is without a contract as his seat is taken by Stewart-Haas Racing's driver Josh Berry in the Ford Mustang. But, after a surprise win and the playoff spot secured, he might have opened doors for more opportunities.
There is some interest, says Harrison Burton
His performance in the 2024 playoff rounds will determine his future in the NASCAR Cup Series. Before winning the Coke Zero Sugar 400 race at Daytona, he had just one top-ten finish.
While speaking to CBS Sports, Burton said, "I think there's definitely been some interest because of that. I think it's important to win a cup race ride and show that you can. I think what we do with this opportunity, that we're in the playoffs, will need more. So try and put our best forward. And I do feel really good about kind of where I'm at."
"I feel like I'll be a race car driver next year. So that's always good. And you know, live to fight another day. So just excited to kind of stay where we are," Burton concluded.
He is currently placed 14th in the playoff standings after his 31st-position finish in the first race of the Round of 16. He sees himself 16 points below the playoff cutline.
