Russell Wade (Rusty) Harrison (born 11 October 1981 in Elizabeth, Adelaide, Australia)[1] is a retired speedway rider who rode for the Stoke Potters in the British Premier League in 2007.

Harrison made his debut in British speedway in 2001 riding for Glasgow Tigers. In 2001 he joined Workington Comets where he stayed for three seasons, before moving to Edinburgh Monarchs in 2005.[2] In 2005 he also rode as a Reserve for Belle Vue Aces in the Elite League at number seven.[3] He moved back to Workington in 2006 after apparently refusing to take his last two rides for Glasgow during a meeting against Rye House Rockets on 7 July 2006,[4] before riding for Stoke Potters in 2007.[5][6]

In September 2007, Harrison decided to retire from speedway after being affected by the serious injuries suffered by team-mate Garry Stead. This followed a poor run of form when he had already decided to stop riding that season, saying, "I just haven't got going at all and I feel I have been letting too many people down" said the Australian. You are a danger to yourself and others when your head is not right and it's best that I stand down now before anything else happens."[7]

In 2001 Harrison became Australian Under-21 Champion, [8] after twice winning the Australian Under-16 Championship in 1995 and 1997. In 2002 he was runner-up behind winnder Travis McGowan in the Australian Under-21 Championship.[9]
