Product Description:
Race Win Date: March 16, 2008 - Food City 500: Bristol Motor Speedway - Jeff Burton proved that four new tires still trump four old ones in the Food City 500 Sprint Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway, as he took the lead from Denny Hamlin after a restart on a green-white-checkered finish that took the race six laps beyond its posted distance of 500 laps. Burton crossed the finish line .588 seconds ahead of Kevin Harvick. Clint Bowyer was third, followed by Greg Biffle and Dale Earnhardt Jr. When Hamlin's fuel pickup burped in Turn 4 of the next-to-last lap, it set up a 1-2-3 finish for Richard Childress Racing teammates Burton, Harvick and Bowyer on the .533-mile concrete short track that was resurfaced before the August race last year.
The Childress drivers also benefited when Harvick took out the race's dominant car, Tony Stewart's No. 20 Toyota, on Lap 498 to set up the two-lap run to the finish. After a restart on Lap 496, Hamlin passed Stewart for the lead. A lap later, in Turn 1, Harvick nosed inside Stewart, slid up into the No. 20 and sent Stewart spinning into the Turn 2 wall. Stewart had led 267 laps to that point but had to settle for a 14th-place finish. It was the third consecutive spring race at Bristol where Stewart led the most laps, yet failed to win. The wreck set the table for Burton, who took over second place behind Hamlin after the contact between Stewart and Harvick. Burton had the distinct advantage of four new tires, as Hamlin, Stewart and Earnhardt had stayed on the track while other contenders came to the pits on Lap 491, under caution for Brian Vickers' brush with the Turn 2 wall on Lap 489. After taking the green flag on the final restart, Burton rocketed past Hamlin, who slowed dramatically in Turn 4. "I don't know what happened," said Burton, who claimed the 20th Cup victory of his career and his first at Bristol. "He stopped, and we nearly ran into him.
The No. 31 Jeff Burton AT&T Raced Version will include a special insert card to commemorate the victory.
