AT&T Wins Again….Thanks to NASCAR and Nextel!
By Sharon Burton
for JeffBurtonWorld.com
The more NASCAR and Nextel fight the issue…the more they lose and could lose long term! Their actions could produce the exact opposite of what they think they are trying to accomplish. As a fan, it makes one wonder just how much NASCAR is looking out for the best interests of their sport. Are they really acting on behalf of their fans, owners, drivers and every person employed within the NASCAR industry? Recent actions taken by NASCAR certainly appear to contradict their purpose of promoting the growth of racing. Read More...

Money, Money, Money
by Kari McCoy
for JeffBurtonWorld.com
I think I must be completely stupid. I have tried my best to figure it out. So could someone please explain it to me? The source of my confusion: How can having AT&T, Alltel or any other wireless company in NASCAR hurt Sprint/Nextel? I've listened to all the talk. I've read all the articles. My understanding is it all comes down to the fact Nextel paid millions of dollars to sponsor NASCAR. OK, I get that. But, how does AT&T or Alltel conflict with that. Read More...

Burton says pressure to succeed is building with the summer heat
LOUDON, N.H. – Richard Childress Racing driver Jeff Burton says the dog days of the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule have begun. But the pressure is only going to intensify.
There are three more races before the series gets a week off, and then the schedule kicks into overdrive. After the break, the series has 17 races to close the season, including the run-up to the Chase For The NASCAR Sprint Cup, and the title-determining Chase itself.
As if finding success in Sprint Cup isn't hard enough, this time of year makes things more difficult. Read More...

Consistent Burton back in title contention
By MIKE HARRIS,
AP Auto Racing Writer
LOUDON, N.H. (AP) If consistency can still win a championship in NASCAR's Sprint Cup series, Jeff Burton is a serious contender to win his first title.
In 16 races this season, the Richard Childress Racing driver has one win, four top-fives, 10 top-10s and has not finished worse than 15th.
"I'm good with it, if it yields results," Burton said. "At the end of the day, though, our goal wasn't having an average finish of 8.9 or whatever. Our goal was to lead more laps than we did last year, to win more races than we did last year, to be solidly in the top 12 in points ... and, when the Chase starts, to be a real contender."
Still, it remains to be seen if consistency can get the job done. Read More...

Jeff Burton New Hampshire Chat
Jeff Burton, driver of the No. 31 LENOX Industrial Tools Impala SS, met with members of the media at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and discussed racing in New Hampshire this weekend, getting through to the break in July and much more.
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK GOING INTO THIS WEEKEND? “We haven’t run as well here as we would like to. We’ve had a couple of good races here since I’ve been at RCR but nothing to the extent of success that we want to have. We’ve worked hard on this program, on the one-mile flat track program, Richmond, Phoenix, New Hampshire. We’ve put a lot of effort into it but we’ve yet to prove that we got what we need. We ran very well at Martinsville earlier in the year but we didn’t perform as well at Richmond and Phoenix and we would have liked to. We come here looking a little bit, searching a little bit, trying to find a way to be better and that’s what our goal is.” Read More...

Childress trio hopes New Hampshire 'falls' their way
By Charles Krall, Special to the Sporting News Wire Service
June 27, 2008
10:15 AM EDT
If ever there was a time when Richard Childress Racing needed fall to come early to New England, it's this weekend.
For some reason, most of RCR's success has come in the fall race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and this year finds two of his three drivers -- Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick -- struggling of late and sitting on the bubble as the 10-race "Race to the Chase" begins Sunday with the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 (12:30 p.m. ET, TNT).
