Burton skips because of no sponsor:

#9-Jeff Burton wanted to extend his Busch winning streak at Darlington Raceway to four in a row. But money problems will keep his Roush Ford parked for the DarlingtonRaceway.com 200 Monday. Burton said his team has searched for sponsors to keep it going. “But the economy is tough and there’s a lot of uncertainty in the world,” he said. “That’s just kept corporate America away from racing and we’re one of those teams paying a price for that.”(Sporting News via BGN Racing)(3-17-2003)
