Editor's Note: NASCAR driver Jeff Burton, from South Boston, is providing a daily diary as he prepares for Saturday's race at Richmond International Raceway.

After a wild finish last weekend at Talladega Superspeedway and escaping with a 12th-place finish, I was excited to head back to North Carolina and set my sights on this weekend's Crown Royal 400 at Richmond International Raceway -- a racetrack I like to call home.

But before I can head north to my favorite track, I have to get through the typical Monday through Thursday scheduling items first.
