| - Bill Harrison (September 2, 1910 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Topeka, KS. He competed in ten Sprint Cup Series events in his career, earning four top-tens. Harrison's debut came during the 1949 season, when he competed at Hillsboro. Starting positions in the field of twenty-eight are unknown, but Harrison had a respectable day and wound up 16th. Harrison's lone 1951 race, though, went quite a bit better for the driver. He wound up racing at Charlotte, starting in the 22nd position. From there, Harrison completed all but seventeen laps to record a solid 12th place finish.

Harrison's debut came during the 1949 season, when he competed at Hillsboro. Starting positions in the field of twenty-eight are unknown, but Harrison had a respectable day and wound up 16th. Harrison stepped it up to a two-race schedule for the 1950 season, but ended up struggling quite a bit. He was 20th in the field of twenty-five at Charlotte, yet that effort was quite better than a struggling 46th later on in the year at Langhorne. Harrison's lone 1951 race, though, went quite a bit better for the driver. He wound up racing at Charlotte, starting in the 22nd position. From there, Harrison completed all but seventeen laps to record a solid 12th place finish. Harrison's best year, however, would come during the 1953 season, when he finished 40th in points. It was little wonder as Harrison recorded three top-tens in all three of his starts during the season. In fact, all three of those top-tens were sixth place efforts, as Harrison racked them up during a Midwestern stretch at Rapid City, North Platte, and Davenport. Harrison scaled it back down to just one race for the 1954 season, when he made his first start at Atlanta. It was a tough return for the driver, who crashed out of the event and finished 27th. Harrison's final two races would then come during the 1955 season, when yet another scene change saw Harrison in North Florida. It was a decent stretch run for the driver, as Harrison finished 10th at Palm Beach and then finished 14th at Jacksonville to close out his career.
