CONCORD, N.C. - Some drivers in Saturday's NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Lowe's Motor Speedway may see extra incentive to win because of the whopping $1,012,975 winner's purse.

Not Richard Childress Racing's Jeff Burton.

"I'll be honest with you: You know you're racing for a million dollars here because everybody makes such a big deal about it, but when I think about winning the all-star race, I think about ­ I know you guys don't believe me ­ but I really think about the legacy that's involved in that and the trophy that's involved in that," Burton said on Friday at the 1.5-mile suburban Charlotte, N.C., track. "We're financially in a position where it's easier to think like that. If I didn't have any money, that money would seem so large obviously, and it is large ­ don't get me wrong ­ but at this point in my career, I'm much more concerned about the history that¹'s involved in winning it, the legacy that's created, the trophy that¹s yours. Those things really mean more to me than anything else."
