Looking For Chemistry:
Jeff Burton started his career with the Stavola Brothers but was picked up by the high-dollar Roush Racing team for the 1996 season.
Things were really looking up in Jeff’s career and the wins started to come. But Jeff has just never had the magic chemistry that leads a driver to a title. Sponsorship problems started to appear in 2003 and the team ran the entire 2004 season largely unsponsored. Lack of solid funds has really hurt Jeff’s performance.
During 2004 Jeff left Roush Racing to build the long-struggling but well funded Richard Childress Racing.
In 2006 Jeff Burton and Richard Childress racing, both found their stride. Jeff not only made The Chase but won in Dover and was leading the points for much of the 10 race Championship battle.
Burton was picked up by Stewart-Haas Racing to replace Tony Stewart in the No. 14 at the Pure Michigan 400 and the Irwin Tools Night Race, in 2014. As of 2023, Jeff Burton’s net worth is estimated to be $58 million. His son Harrison and nephew Jeb Burton currently compete in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, while his brother Ward Burton has also raced in the Cup Series.
