After dating since 2017, last year, Harrison Burton went down on one knee and popped the question to his girlfriend, Jenna Petty. Soon enough, in January, the active social media user Jenna opened up a questionnaire on Instagram, welcoming anything wedding-related. Even the Xfinity Series ace had posted on Instagram, teasing the fans about his wedding this week. Now that the wedding bells have sounded for NASCAR legend Jeff Burton’s son, it was the Daytona 500 winner and his uncle who shared a heartwarming message amid the event.

Harrison and Jenna attended the same high school, but they never really interacted until fate stepped in during a double date. Ironically, the setup wasn’t meant for them, but during that evening, the two connected and found a spark that could grow into something lasting. Jenna later recalled in interviews that what started as a casual encounter quickly developed into a steady relationship while they were still teenagers. From then on, their lives have been closely intertwined.

Now, Jenna has finally tied the knot with the man she “soulmated so hard” with. And if her reply to a fan on Instagram stands true, it is safe to assume that the wedding was a tight-knit affair. But thanks to Ward Burton’s update on X, the fans have caught a glimpse of the celebration. He posted a picture where all three Burton brothers, dressed in white and black, were camera-ready for the youngest Burton’s event. He captioned the post: “Three brothers celebrating Harrison’s wedding!”

Over the years, Jenna has been more than just a supportive partner; she has been a consistent presence through the highs and lows. In fact, the couple still has some high school rituals that they follow. Back then, they used to FaceTime each other to sleep, and even now, when on work trips, Jenna does not want to be alone; Burton keeps her company on FaceTime. She even shared a screenshot of one such instance on August 28, where the call started at 9:50 PM and ran for 9 hours and 44 minutes.

But their love is a shared effort. She celebrates with him during his career milestones and remains by his side during the tougher stretches when results don’t go as planned. After Harrison’s COTA setback in March didn’t go as expected, marking his first DNF of the season, Jenna was right there by his side. She had clicked a picture of Harrison speaking to a reporter and later uploaded it to her Instagram story, giving a shout-out to AM Racing. She captioned it, “so proud of what you’re doing, @amracingnascar I’m your biggest fan!!”

By the time Harrison proposed in March 2024, the two had already built nearly 7 years of shared memories. The dancer has also shared glimpses of their personal life on social media, posting photos of themselves traveling together and commemorating big moments like their engagement with polished photo shoots.

As of 2025, Jenna hasn’t taken a backseat when it comes to being present in Harrison’s professional world. Reports and fan sightings confirmed that she has attended several of these races this season, often appearing in the garage orbit areas to show her support.

While not every outing has been smooth, given Harrison’s up-and-down performances in the Xfinity circuit, the duo’s love story has a happy ending. However, on the racing side of it, Harrison may be in trouble.

Harrison Burton is at high risk of elimination amid the Xfinity playoffs

Harrison Burton’s playoff run is hanging by a thread. At Kansas Speedway on Saturday night, the AM Racing driver could do better than 20th, finishing a lap down and just collecting 17 points. His No. 25 machine simply lacked the pace, and now his postseason hopes are on life support.

Burton sits 11th in the Round of 12 standings, eight points below the cut line. While he technically has a path into the Round of 8 on points, his speed has been among the weakest of the playoff field. That means he will need both help from misfortune striking others and the performance of his career at the Charlotte Roval to keep his dream alive.

The problem? The cut line is surrounded by proven road-course specialists. For Burton to advance, he must find speed in a hurry, or his underdog playoff story, remarkable in itself for coming in his first year with AM racing, will probably come to a heartbreaking close next weekend.
