Hilarious Kentucky Speedway Advert

When I was young I asked my uncle why Ward Burton talked funny while Jeff Burton didn't. He told me the Burtons were poor and Jeff got to go to school as a kid while Ward had to pick cotton. I believed that probably a lot longer than I should have before I finally looked it up and found the true story.

LMFAO I would love to bull**** over a pitcher with your uncle.

Seriously though, why such the thick "accent".

I thought when I googled it years ago I read that Ward bit off part of his tongue as a child in an accident, but now I can't seem to find that article. o_Oo_Oo_O

i heard a hunting accident when a kid, but i believe that's BS, elliott sadler sounds just like ward when he's excited. i believe ward went to military school.
 
Ward Burton, such a nice man. Would of loved to see what he could of done in his prime with a modern Hendrick or JGR car.
 
i like Ward, pulling for his boy Jeb to have a good career. my girlfriend loves his accent
