By Greg Engle/Cup Scene Daily
Ward Burton's comeback in 2007 got a bit busier Tuesday.
After committing to Morgan-McClure Motorsports late in `06 to run the entire Nextel Cup schedule, Brewco Motorsports announced Tuesday that Ward Burton will drive 20 races for Brewco and Kleenex Racing, beginning with the Daytona 300 on Feb. 17, 2007, at Daytona International Speedway.
Burton's Busch Series career spans nine years and 145 races. Along the way he racked up four wins, with 23 top-five and 49 top-10 finishes.
"I'm excited to be working with Brewco, team owner Clarence Brewer Jr. and crew chief Stewart Cooper," Burton said, "I'm excited to be back in the Busch Series, especially with a stand-alone Busch Series team. I know Clarence is giving us the resources we need to have competitive cars each and every week."
The two-car team will enter its 11th season in 2007. In 2006 the team campaigned with driver David Green in the No. 27 car for 27 races and Casey Atwood for eight events. Their best finish was a seventh place finish at Gateway in July with Green at the wheel.
