Jeff Burton captured Saturday afternoon’s Ford 300 Busch Series finale at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. The No. 29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet crossed the finish line 1.718 seconds ahead of Mark Martin.
The victory was Burton’s fifth of the season and 27th of his Busch career. Burton along with Scott Wimmer teamed up in No. 29 Chevy to win the owner’s championship for 2007.
“It’s been a great year for RCR… Scott Wimmer’s done an incredible job and this is a great way to up the season, “ said Burton. Sports Network
As Burton crossed the finish line half a straightaway ahead of Martin on the 1.5-mile oval, Childress came on the radio and said, “That’s the way to win a championship. Scott Wimmer, Jeff Burton, you guys, you’re champions. ‘’
It was the fourth Busch title for Childress, whose team has also won six championships in NASCAR’s top stock car series and one in the Craftsman Truck Series. SportsIllustrated
