So far this season the only thing getting more attention than the Hendrick, Gibbs and Roush teams has been Hillary Clinton’s sniper-fire fantasy. Meanwhile, Jeff Burton continues to lead the points standings with a lot less fanfare. Why is this the case?
Jeff doesn’t have Tony Stewart’s unshaven mug and in-your-face demeanor. He doesn’t have Kyle Busch’s bad-boy image and take-no-prisoners driving style. And he doesn’t have Carl Edward’s back flip. When Jeff Burton speaks he’s steady, even, intelligent and thoughtful. In short, he’s an adult. Maybe his style doesn’t make for a provocative television interview, but whenever he speaks, I find him to be refreshing.
