This partnership will
mark the second time Burton has driven the No. 98 Ford, including a 15th-place
finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2014. Most recently, Burton competed in
11 NASCAR XFINITY Series races with Richard Petty Motorsports, recording one
Top-10 and four Top-15 finishes.
"I'm really excited
to get back on the track in the XFINITY Series with Biagi-DenBeste
Racing," said Burton. "They've shown they have fast cars and just
scored a big win at Daytona," said Burton. "I'm thrilled to again
partner with Estes. They are a great company and have been big supporters of my
career."
Estes Express Lines is a
full-service freight transportation provider, headquartered in Burton's home
state of Virginia. The Richmond-based company has previously partnered with
Burton in both the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series.
Estes President and CEO
Rob Estes weighed in on the sponsorship. "We're proud of our association
with this Virginia native who has gone on to gain national recognition. It's
exciting to once again support him as he takes to the track in the No. 98 Estes
Ford in Indianapolis and Richmond. We want to thank our vendors who helped make
sponsoring these two races a reality. The Estes team is very excited to be part
of the 2016 season, and our 16,000 employees nationwide will definitely be
rooting for him."
It's good Jeb has a ride. The sponsor deal that shafted Petty's Xfinity team killed a promising season for both.
