Dan Morton

Daniel Andrew Duncan Morton (born June 25, 1986 in Bristol, England) is an English driver who is currently a free agent. He last competed for Atlantic Motorsports in their part-time #30 Airways Matthews Aspira DC in the 2015 Dash Cup Pirelli Super Touring Series.

Morton's driving style is much like his off-track personality. He tends to reserve himself and his comments and heavily focusing on the job at hand, but is very polite and personable. He tends not to overdrive the car to exhaustion or force the issue into an accident, but that may also deter him from making much forward progress if his car is not at the front.

Dash Cup
2013

Morton started his Dash Cup career with his friend Casey Lester's #94 Calton-Morel, DNQ'ing after crashing out of Qualifying Race 3 of the 2013 Dash Cup Eurospeedway GP. He was then contacted to drive the #88 Acer Eichholtz E231 for Scuderia Pazzano following team owner Alexandre Pazzano's poor results in the car, starting at Round 9 in the second race. He closely followed Dan Johnson to the checkered flag, giving the team it's best result of the season with 2nd place. This impressed the team very much and many eyes began to focus on him. Natalie Balandier ended up one-upping him the next weekend by winning Race 2 at Sicotte, but Morton was determined to get back in the spotlight, finishing 4th at Calder. He was not finished there as he dominated, led all laps and won at both Brno and Karjala. Following that, he caught the eye of Ben Atkins and The ATK Project and he was offered a one-off in the #84 entry for the prestigious Spa GP. He performed very well and ran with the leaders until mechanical problems forced him out halfway through the race. He returned to Pazzano's #88, placed 17th at Motegi and crashed out of the final race, New York. However, his part-time performance was enough to earn him the role of third driver at Atlantic Motorsports, splitting the team's #26 SMC Braun with Daxter Hamlett for the 2014 season.
