When he was asked that day in Phoenix about which of the previous 999 he'll remember the most, the affable Burton paused.“I’ve done a terrible job of taking time to enjoy ,” he said. “My personality is that I’m always on to the next thing. Winning my first races in Nationwide and Cup were big races. Racing Kyle Busch at Las Vegas in a Nationwide car, a last-lap battle where I got by on the outside and he spun coming off turn four. It was fun... two guys racing hard.
Burton's career included no championships, but he did win 21 times in the Cup Series and 27 times in the Xfinity Series. His best finish in the championship was third in the Cup Series in 2000.
