| Sandusky, Ohio (Oct. 28, 2014) – Jeb Burton, driver of the No. 13 Estes Express Toyota Tundra is hoping his winning legacy at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) in Fort Worth will carry over for Fridaynight’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) WinStar World Casino and Resort 350K. In 2012, Burton tamed the 1.5-mile Fort Worth track, turning his 12th career NCWTS start into his first series win (June, 2013). The Halifax, Va. native returned to the track in the fall of 2013 to earn his seventh career NCWTS Keystone Light Pole Award.
Entering the 20th race on the 2014 NCWTS schedule, Burton is ninth in points, three markers out of eighth with one top-five and six top-10 finishes. In a season that started out with challenges, something every new team faces, Burton can’t think of a better place to get back to victory lane than the site of his first series win.
Sounding Off – Jeb Burton: ” It’s a special feeling to come back to Texas, it’s been a good track for me and hopefully we can carry some of the momentum we’ve been building on this season and maybe get another win this weekend.”
