Jeb Burton NCWTS Preview: Martinsville Speedway

Homeward Bound…Following a wild race at Talladega, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) will make its way to Martinsville Speedway for some short-track racing. A South Boston, Virginia native, Jeb Burton will hit the 0.526-mile track for the Kroger 200 on Saturday afternoon in the No. 4 Arrowhead/Kangaroo Express truck. In his last run at the paperclip-shaped track, Burton impressed all when he won the Keystone Light pole award, led the most laps and ended the day with a third-place finish.

 

This Week’s Silverado…The No. 4 Turner Scott Motorsports (TSM) team will unload chassis TSM-229 at Martinsville Speedway. Making its fifth appearance of the season, TSM-229 has collected one pole, three top-10 starts and three top-10 finishes.

Previous Race RecapIn his track debut at Talladega Superspeedway, Burton received his sixth Keystone Light pole award of the 2013 NCWTS season but was unable to pull the No. 4 Arrowhead/Kangaroo Express Chevrolet truck into victory lane after a frightening, multi-truck accident occurred on the final lap of the Fred’s 250. After being evaluated and released from the infield care center, Burton was scored with an 18th-place finish. The 21-year-old rookie remains fourth in the NCWTS Driver Point Standings.

 

Jeb Burton on Racing at Martinsville Speedway:

“I can’t wait to get back to this track. It’s my favorite track on the circuit. We dominated last time we were here and unfortunately just gave it away towards the end. We have a really good truck and I think we have a good shot at getting another pole award and, hopefully, another win. It’ll feel good to be back at my home track and see all my hometown fans, friends and family.”
