Jeb Burton out?

Wow Poludo too.

That really sucks.
 
I would think someone would snatch up Jeb pretty quick.
 
That's a huge bummer. Surely somebody will grab him, though.
 
He looks pretty well ****** for this season.
 
Guarantee there is a ride out there somewhere, he isn't done for the year. Can't be.
 
He didn't get much of a notice. The first race is just a couple weeks away. I hope he can land something good.
 
I still think Jeb is going to have a bright future. This is certainly a major setback but I think he'll recover from it. I think he turned enough heads last year to get a look with someone else. JGR should snatch him up IMO.

The timing certainly sucks. I'm surprised a Chevrolet team didn't try keeping him at TSM. Their equipment is good and he's a young talent. All they would need is some sponsorship dollars and have TSM supply the personal and cars like they did for Kyle Larson and some others. Hope he finds somewhere, but its February and that's not easy. Shame to see this in the truck series with so many sponsors and teams leaving.

That is kinda of a lead in as to why Nascar is talking about slowing things down in the engine compartment so engines can be passed down to the lower levels. Economics, the have's and have not's has always been a problem, but good management can try to make it a bit easier for racing teams to field a car.
 
Could you imagine what he could do if he had that Zaxby's money behind him instead of the crash test dummy?
 
Duck Commander is missing the boat here .Talk about a perfect match . Bet they could sponsor Jeb half a season for what they spent at Texas.
 
Nope. Just a "CheeseHead" from Wisconsin that likes Johnny Sauter.

Heading for Daytona for the Twins, Truck & Nationwide races. Maybe two in a row at Daytona for Johnny - who knows?
 
Too bad this kid is a REAL good driver.......unfortunately NASCAR wants a pretty boy (sponsors dream) not a country hick boy that can wheel a car!
 
It's sad how people that actually know how to drive are stuck in the lower series, struggling for rides while people like Danica Patrick are getting into championship winning cars and teams in the premier series... At least he got a ride, better then most :cool:

It wasn't Nascar, but our government that went in and shut down his sponsor's business. He was gutted in the process. But I guarantee he will run some races this year somewhere for somebody. Might not get a whole season in but if there is a loose ride his name will come up I bet.

Supposedly JRM is trying to put some sort of deal together with both Jeb Burton and Johanna Long.

Please yes please. Would love to see Johanna in a quality ride (and Jeb, too, of course, but we kinda already know what he can do since he won a truck race last year).
 
Jeb to Thorsport. Step aside, Crafton.

Another Wisconsinite here. Love the Sauters.

Crafton won the title about 3/4 of the way thru the season last year and has sponsorship for this year. I'm not a fan of the big ugly yellow Toyota and driver Crafton, but he isn't going anywhere next year, and Burton has an uphill battle and a lot to prove and hardly any money behind him.
