Latest on Burtons 2014 plans:

#31-Jeff Burton met with members of the media Friday at Phoenix International Raceway and discussed his role in the sport in 2014, the transcript in part: Q) A FEW WEEKS AGO YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE PRETTY CONFIDENT IN YOUR 2014 PLANS. SHOULD WE TAKE THE SILENCE TO MEAN THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED? Burton: No, really nothing has changed. I feel that I know what I am going to be doing it s just you all don t (laughs). Some things have taken a little longer than I thought they would take and some of that is because of me. Some of that is because I slowed some stuff down and wanted to really think about it. Some of it is because some situations have popped up that weren t there a little bit ago. I feel very confident. I know exactly what I m going to be doing part of next year and there is another part of it that I m still working on, but really close on. I m just not the kind of person that is going to talk about it until we need to be talking about it. Q) IS PART OF THAT PLAN DRIVING? Burton: Yeah, part of it is, yes. (Team Chevy)
