Daytona Beach, FL – Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Healthcare (SMA) is pleased to announce that they have received a $1,000 donation from 13-year-old race car driver Harrison Burton, as part of his winnings last month at New Smyrna Speedway.

DEX Imaging, with locations in five states, including one on Nova Road in Daytona Beach, is Harrison’s primary sponsor. The company donates thirty percent of its profits to charity and Harrison decided to follow their example and do the same. When Harrison asked DEX Imaging’s account representative Cary Frisenda who he should donate the money to, Cary immediately said Stewart-Marchman-Act.

“DEX Imaging is proud to align ourselves with such a great organization like SMA that helps so many people,” said Frisenda. “We are so pleased that Harrison has chosen to ‘pay it forward’ and donate thirty percent of his winnings from New Smyrna to one of our local charities,” he added.

The son of accomplished NASCAR driver Jeff Burton, Harrison recently had the biggest win of his young career – winning the Pro Late Model 100 in the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway.  Competing in the NASCAR Whelen All American Series Pro Late Model division, he won two of the seven races – including the 100-lap event – and finished second in the division’s overall standings.
