Following in both his father Ward Burton and his Uncle Jeff Burton’s footsteps in NASCAR, Jeb Burton will climb behind the wheel of his Hillman Racing #27 State Water Heater Chevy for the first time ever this weekend. “State Water Heaters and Ward Burton have been partners since 2007,” stated Jeff Storie, Senior Marketing Manager for State Water Heaters. “We realized early on that Ward has a natural connection with our wholesalers and contractors. Because of that connection, Ward is a great ambassador for the State brand. We’re thrilled that our 2012 partnership is moving back on the track with both Ward & Jeb. Crew chief Trip Bruce, who won the championship in the NCWTS in 2008 with driver Johnny Benson, will be atop the pit box as he was for Ward’s Daytona debut in the trucks and for the remaining five races that Jeb has slated to run with his sponsor State Water Heaters.(State Water Heaters PR)(3-28-2012)
