Ward Burton Returns to Nascar

Ward & Jeb Burton to run trucks with Hillman Racing: After a five-year absence from competing in a NASCAR race, Ward Burton will drive at Daytona in February in the NextEra Energy 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event. Burton and his 19-year-old son, Jeb, have teamed with Hillman Racing in the Truck Series to run the #27 Chevy this season. Burton, the 2002 Daytona 500 winner and brother of current Richard Childress Racing team member Jeff Burton, stepped away from the sport in 2007 to help Jeb's racing career as well as work with the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation. Burton had five career wins in in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series and four in the Nationwide Series. Jeb moves up from the NASCAR Whelen All-American series to the Truck Series. Ward will race at Daytona because Jeb is not yet qualified to run at Daytona. Burton also will make select starts throughout the truck series schedule. The younger Burton will make his debut behind the wheel in the Kroger 250 at Martinsville on March 31. Atop the pit box for the #27 will be Richmond native Trip Bruce, who worked with Burton in his Sprint Cup days at Bill Davis Racing.(Richmond Times Dispatch)(1-26-2012)

Mostly due to all the Nationwide teams moving up to Cup. It's almost comical at this point.

I would love to have heard converstations of him when he had Tommy Baldwin (who has a thick Bostonian accent) as a Crew Chief.

Oh and......

Me and my brother always joked that he was attacked by a swarm of bees and the swelling never went down.

Wawd Buhrton gonna shoot Jr through the window. Seriously happy for him to get a ride.

I'm slowly loving the 2012 NASCAR season more and more.
