Morton competed in 17 American Championship Car races from 1922 to 1927 including seven Indianapolis 500 races (three starts of his own and four drives in relief of others).

Morton was also a test driver for Auburn and an executive for Meteor Motors. He was credited with designing Auburn's Cabin Speedster but it is likely that Albert Leamy did the primary design work.Alan H.
