Trying to figure out his carrer rides.

I know he drove for Hass in the Netzero then went to the BDR Cat car and was let go. It also appears he drove fir BDR in the MBNA PRIOR to the Hass car??

Can someone give me the break down on his carrer from the time he entered Cup to when he elft BDR in the CAT car??
 
i cant remember where he was before BDR...but he drove the MBNA car for BDR, then the CAT car, and then moved to the NetZero car.
 
Okay so I had it backwards...He drove for BDR in two different sponsers then went to Hass and then left cup?? Thanks Anyone else remember prior to BDR?? Was there a prior to??
 
He drove the Hardees car in bush prior to coming to winston cup. I don't know who the owner was though, I think it was BDR.
 
New job for Ward Burton

NASCAR's Ward Burton picked for Va. fish, game board
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — NASCAR driver Ward Burton was selected Tuesday to sit on the Virginia Board of Game and Inland Fisheries.
Gov. Mark R. Warner, who announced the selection, called Burton "a strong addition" to the board that oversees the troubled Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

"He is known throughout Virginia for his commitment to the outdoors, both as a sportsman and as a conservationist," Warner said in a statement. The governor said Burton's experience and background will help the board "continue to make progress to restore the trust of the sports and conservation enthusiasts they serve."

State police are conducting a criminal investigation of Game and Inland Fisheries after an audit accusing officials of waste, cronyism, misuse of state property and retaliation against employees.

The spending issues surfaced after department officials went on an African safari last year. Subsequent newspaper reports revealed that officials regularly traveled to conventions, bought expensive sporting goods and exceeded limits on their state-issued credit cards.

Burton is the president and founder of the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation, which provides conservation education programs and manages a wildlife refuge system of protected land. He has served as spokesman for the Virginia State Parks in public service announcements since 2003.

Burton succeeds C. Wilson McNeely IV, who resigned last week after six years of service.
