Jeb Burton running retro Ward Burton scheme at Darlington
Jeb Burton didn't have to look far for inspiration.
On Tuesday, BK Racing announced that Burton's throwback paint scheme for Darlington Raceway will be a tribute to his father, 2002 Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton. Take a look.
This is a awesome throwback for @TooToughToTame. Dad won there twice with these colors. pic.twitter.com/8QWG3e7UBD

Dad is a fan.
Excited about this. Pretty cool that Jeb thought of me. Had some great times in that black and yellow 22. http://t.co/5UtuzzzWu9
