7 reasons to watch the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway: No. 5 - Jeff Burton
Jeff Burton has two NASCAR Sprint Cup victories at Texas Motor Speedway and a third in Sunday's Dickies 500 would tie him with Carl Edwards for most wins at the 1.5-mile track.
Coming off a fifth-place finish in last Sunday's race at Talladega Superspeedway, Burton has momentum on his side. Burton, driver of the No. 31 Chevrolet at Richard Childress Racing, also finished ninth in the spring race at Texas to earn his eighth top-10 in 17 career starts.
It's also pretty impressive that Burton has finished all but one start at Texas.
Hendrick Motorsports' Jimmie Johnson has a stranglehold on this year's Chase For The Sprint Cup, but it should be interesting to see how Burton does come Sunday.
