A native of South
Boston, Virginia, the 21-year-old Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender currently
sits fourth in the NCWTS championship standings. In 15 starts this season, he
has one win and four Keystone Light Pole Awards.
"I'm really
thankful for this opportunity," said Burton. "I can't thank Arrowhead
enough for their ongoing support. It's all about the experience and the
opportunity. At the beginning of the season, I set a couple of goals for myself
and racing in a Nationwide Series race was one of them. My Turner Scott
Motorsports team is the hardest working group of guys in the garage, so I'm
confident we'll give it all we've got at Kentucky Speedway."
Burton will bring along
his current crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. as well as his regular NCWTS team for
the NNS race at Kentucky.
"Jeb has shown an
incredible amount of dedication this season," said TSM co-owner Harry
Scott Jr. "His passion and skill for racing is evident in his performance
on the track. Providing Jeb with extra on-track experience is crucial for his
career, and I couldn't be happier to give him an opportunity to race in the
NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Kentucky. I'm grateful to have Jeb, along with
Arrowhead, as members of our Turner Scott Motorsports family and look forward
to growing together."
It only took till thur but we got a nice positive story. Good luck Jeb.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about Jeb making his way up the NASCAR Ladder. I look forward to the new talent coming into the Cup Series :)
ReplyDeleteWould be nice if Trevor Bayne could get a ride with Furniture Row. He's a great fit for them...
