The Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate has been handling himself like a veteran, claiming three poles in the first five races of the season while maintaining second in the NCWTS Driver Point Standings. The rookie qualified third on the board and battled sweltering heat before claiming a ninth-place finish.

 

Jeb Burton on Racing at Texas Motor Speedway

“I’m looking forward to heading to Texas [Motor Speedway], if for no other reason than the momentum it gives us. It’s good anytime we can race back-to-back weekends because it keeps you in a groove. We’ve been good at intermediate tracks and we’re bringing a good truck, so I’m hoping to get myself one of those cowboy hats in victory lane.”
