Jeff Burton, driver of Richard Childress Racings No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet Impala SS in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, will make the so-called car wash tour of ESPNs headquarters in Bristol, Conn., on Thursday, September 17. Burton will first appear live on the set of First Take at 11:40 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time before appearing on Sportscenter and ESPNews. He is also scheduled to hit the airwaves on ESPN Radio and will participate in a web chat on ESPN.com. Exact times for his appearances, other than First Take, have yet to be determined.
The 16-year veteran will end his day co-hosting a special one-hour, Chase for the Sprint Cup episode of NASCAR Now alongside anchor Mike Massaro, beginning at 5:30pm/et. Im really excited about going to ESPN, stated Burton. I had the opportunity to visit their headquarters in 2006 and its an amazing facility. They have me scheduled with a bunch of interviews from the minute I get there but, from previous experience, it will be fun. Im a big sports fan and ESPN always keeps me up-to-date with the latest news and scores. Im looking forward to the visit and am eager to talk about racing and other sports with their analysts.
