(April, 8, 2012) – After experiencing motor problems at Fayette County Speedway Friday night, the 24H team would make their presence known at the famous paper clip dubbed Highland Speedway.  Harrison would start the night off with a bit of luck as he would draw the pole position in the 2nd heat race.  No one would be able to challenge the Highland, IL native as Harrison would easily take the heat race. Luck would remain 24H’s side as Mike would place himself on the pole for the dash by drawing the pole position and would take the win once again, ultimately placing him on the front row for the feature event. Harrison would lead every lap of the 20 lap UMP DIRTcar feature and solidify himself as a feature winner in 2012.

(March 16, 2012) – Mike and the 24 team made the trek to the famed bull ring known as “Belle Vegas” for the Shamrock 40 to set fire to the 2012 season. The night seemed to start off smoothly as Harrison looked to be in a different time zone during hot laps. Mike’s amazing speed was short-lived as the heat race did not go well. The #24 CMR Motorsports entry was involved in an early accident, forcing Mike to retire from the heat race. The feature event saw a vintage come-from-behind drive by Harrison. Harrison powered his way through the field on the top to a fifth place finish, earning the respect of all his competitors as he started shot gun on the field.
