Jeb Burton takes a cheeky dig at his father’s “wild night” in Phoenix bar

NASCAR driver Jeb Burton recently shared his verdict on his father, Dayton 500 winner Ward Burton's recent night out in Phoenix, following the end of the Xfinity Series Championship Race.

Jeb pilots the #27 Chevrolet Camaro for Jordan Anderson Racing, competing full-time in the Xfinity Series. In a career span of 11 years, Jeb has secured two trips to victory lane, and 40 top-ten finishes in the Xfinity Series. Moreover, the #27 driver also pilots the #50 Chevrolet for Team AmeriVet part-time in the Cup Series.

In a recent episode of the Crossroads with the Burtons podcast, Jeb Burton and his father had a conversation about the latter's recent trip to a bar in Phoenix, with the former's friend. The #27 driver said:

"So dad had a wild idea on Friday night to go out with one of my buddies Jake Allen and we had another one of our partners with Rapid Radios at the track and you didn't feel so good on Saturday did you?"

"I did not. It's gonna be a long time before I let some of those younger bucks influence me because I'm just not as tough as I used to be and I'm definitely out of practice. I felt a hell of a lot better Sunday than I did Saturday," Ward Burton responded to the question.

Sharing the aforementioned clip of the podcast on X, Jeb jokingly wrote:

"Ol Ward can’t hang! 😂🫶🏻"

Jeb Burton did not qualify for the playoffs in the 2024 Xfinity Series campaign and capped off the season with a P19 finish.

Meanwhile, his cousin, NASCAR legend Jeff Burton's son Harrison Burton will be joining the JAR driver in the Xfinity Series behind the wheel of AM Racing's #15 Ford, following Hailie Deegan's departure from the team.

Jeb Burton's cousin Harrison Burton comments on return to Xfinity Series amid departure from WBR

Former Wood Brothers Racing driver Harrison Burton recently shed light on his return to the Xfinity Series, following WBR's announcement to replace Burton with SHR driver Josh Berry in their #21 Ford Mustang.

In a September interview with Frontstretch, the former WBR was asked about his move to AM Racing and whether he had spoken to former Xfinity champion Cole Custer about his experience.

"I definitely would love to go down there and win races. I haven't gotten to talk to Cole much about his experience. I do know Cole well and like Cole, but, you know, just haven't had a chance really," Burton said. [01:32 onwards]

"The goal in my career is to get back to Cup and try and win races in Cup. And, you know, I was really fortunate to win one this year. So try and go down to the Xfinity Series, win more races and earn my way back and see how it goes," he added.

Harrison Burton secured his spot in the 2024 playoffs in a controversial finish in the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. Despite the controversy, Jeb Burton's nephew created history by securing his spot in the list of father-son duos to emerge victorious in the Cup Series. However, he could not make it past the Round of 16 in the playoffs.

In 2025, both Jeb Burton and his cousin will compete against each other for the Xfininty Series title.
