As good as Jeff Burton was behind the wheel, what NASCAR really needs is someone like him in the Front Office, making decisions on the future of the sport. His commitment to safety and competition would make him the best President the sport has ever had, in my opinion.

the worst call nascar ever made was the playoff system… having a point lead after 26 races be wiped out to give the guys in 10th place a shot at the title is an abomination. A season should make a champion.

I have always been a HUGE Jeff Burton fan!! I met him in 2005 in Atlanta when I won the Cingular contest to spend a weekend at the track in a motorcoach and get to meet him. When the girls that were in charge of the contest found out I was an actual Jeff Burton fan they were even happier I won. My daughter and I were getting our stuff out of the car. I was walking around the back of the motorcoach and when I looked up they had gone and got Jeff. I was in shock and shaking, lol. Before I knew it he had reached down and grabbed my suitcases and took them on the coach for me. He spent about 20 mins with me. Gave me autographs and took a picture with me. He is a class act to this day!!

I have always loved Jeff and Ward. Two of my favorite drivers in history. Down to Earth and talented. Good stuff

Jeff is a comedian! and one of the best all around for NASCAR . Good to see him and the stories of the day are entertaining

Would love to see the whole unedited interview. Respect Jeff Burton honesty and Knowledge of the sport.

Love Jeff Burton…he is tremendous

Jeff Burton is a treasure!

Jeff Burton is an extremely talented driver. Blessings guys. I miss Wards commentary he was good too. Same behind the wheel.

Burton was always class. Glad the Orange 31 was my favourite as a kid.

I love Jeff but there is 2 difference between the drivers 20 years ago and the drivers of today. #1 they never had to prove themselves in inferior equipment. Most of them are farmed and put in top notch equipment. #2 Respect for that equipment. Maybe it's because I was a crew member once but many drivers today destroy racecars that don't have to.

The simple fix to that Gordon thing would’ve been to heavily penalize the MWR cars eliminating them from the playoffs. It ended up being Truex getting screwed and Bowyer getting in when Bowyer was the one doing the manipulation.

Yo I would love for them to have more of the older drivers come in and talk I love to hear there take on racing today !

Jeff Burton - a REAL racer!!

Burton was my favorite driver when he was in the 99 car...I'll never forget his race with Gordon at Darlington for the Million. Today that would've ended in a wreck.

Where is this Jeff Burton during the broadcasts? I love this unfiltered Burton.

Great episode, great guest.

This is a really good edit piece..and a Good Guest makes it easier for sure.

Remember When Jeff led every lap at Loudon?

This is a side of Jeff Burton I haven’t seen before and I love it

Jeff … bring on your brother WARD to the broadcast booth someday … maybe his birthday or his favorite track …? You guys are funny together .. or just interview him.. love his delivery!!!! ❤🏁😅 OH buy the way i really like you and jr. In the booth together… you guys are like brothers…😂😇

That was really good. I'd take more from this conversation.

For me, NASCAR died with forgetting one simple fact: "he who gets there first - wins". All that has come afterwards is just layer upon layer of bull crap. If it's different for you, I respect your opinion - after 60 years of watching, I will stick with mine.

Burton is a good interview; always has been, and he is good for the sport. And he never did like Jeff Gordon. Those two never got along.

NASCAR today isn't racing it's entertainment!

I want to see him and ward on the same show

Great stuff right there Mr. Burton!! Right on point...

Workin on the fire crew in the pits Jeff was one of the few non celeb acting people very cool and down to earth

this episode was all over the place. love to hear what Jeff Burton has to say. but what a mess

It’s EASY to see how Jeff Burton would be seen by his peers as ‘The Mayor’, or as someone they’d appreciate speaking on their behalf. He isn’t one that’s always running his mouth about any & every thing of the moment. He’s respectful. He’s approachable. He’s considerate. He’s articulate. When he speaks out about something, it’s a well thought out and well framed argument. Frankly, when he says something - it’s not stupid. Not to sound as if I’m delivering a ‘Jeff Burton commercial or anything, but if I were a driver or was in some other part of the NASCAR community, I would feel quite comfortable with Jeff Burton speaking on my behalf. I’d CERTAINLY be aware that I could do worse.

Man nascar needs more dale Jr's jrff burtons and brad keselowskis they know what's up and tell it how it is

Honestly I would've killed to watch the end of that race with Jeff, seems like a good guy to have a drink with

Over his left shoulder.....Mari Robbins and her husbands 'Devil Woman' Coupe!........Perfect!

Jeff eluded to this point that I've been wondering, I wonder what it's like for someone like Scott Miller (a renown competition director), or a respected member of any sport, to move up into an official role like that. Part of the job description is making decisions that will not please everybody.

Thx Guys, that was Cool. Always liked the Heck out of Jeff Burton. 👍👍

They should’ve kicked Clint Bowyer out of the Chase but you know what, his career post 2014 vs what Truex career has been is poetic justice.

The current system is lame BECAUSE you could IN THEORY win the first 35 races of the Cup season and then LOSE the championship at Phoenix. I would go back to the how the points system was during the Winston Cup era with only the change of adding more points for race wins & points for winning poles as well & hell they could even keep the stages too BUT auto racing should be one where the best driver over the course of the entire season is the champion same as how it is in most other series like Formula 1, IndyCar, IMSA etc etc etc...

The dumbest thing that ever happened to the top level of nascar is the playoff system!

go back to all seasons points system but only count your top 3 finish points go toward the championship.

What's funny is the non-specifics of the first anecdote. He describes at least 6 races this year alone but the clip doesn't say which.

Agreed 100%

JEFF BURTON YOU ARE RIGHT. FROM THat day until it ends will always be that nascar is “fixed” because adding JG24 means that they are trying to dictate who they want to be champion and it’s a black and white deal. Period. They can never ever get out of the judgement call they made and now they’re the latest Entertaining sport

Jeff Burton reminds me of myself. I’d you don’t want to hear an honest answer, whether it suits you or not, don’t ask the damn question

Jeff has always been a favorite...loved his comedic personality and nitty gritty too... ...he could have made it....😂

In my opinion, if they really wanted to add Jeff.. why not give Logano a points penalty? It was clear race manipulation between them and Front Row that gave them the edge. It would've been a lot cleaner, and though slightly unfair to the 22 team, warranted.

as a die hard Jeff Gordon fan, I have always thought back to the 2013 season and knew he didn't deserve to be in the chase that year

We Need Jeff Burton and Ward Burton back on the tracks

I really like Jeff as a commentator on tv, he reminds me of Tony Romo on NFL CBS, he explains the race really well.

I love the way nascar guys talk LMAO

Burton brothers were my favorite.

I seriously stopped caring about who could win the championship after the playoffs were created. The team in 16th doesn't deserve a shot at the title. Nascar need to return to its roots and start over.

Agreed Jeff Burton!🍻!🥳

The fan vote has always been a joke. It's a money move. People tune in to see their favorite driver race. If their favorite driver is not racing people tune out and ratings go down and they lose money. It's not about the quality of the product it's always about the money.

If aggression is at an all time high, yet the racing still sucks, doesn't it prove the new car is garbage?

it's not that they're not as good, it's that they are unrelatable. gone are the blue collar heroes that made it. it's only sons of white collar guys now. i forget what half of them look like from race to race

I disagree 'it's ok' with the way races are run today. We are closer than ever before that 'racing today' will result in a serious injury or fatality that arises out this' formulation' (all or nothing) that didn't exist before.

Make him a regular.

Wasn't this from like 7 months ago?

The playoff system is stupid and Jeff Burton should be one of the racers in charge, not those politickin' scumbags in there now.

Look at those two land yachts

The correct call should have been MWR out

Always a big fan of JB99

The Chase is garbage. The NASCAR playoff is stupid, manufactured drama. Champions "crowned" under the playoff are not real champions.

How many championships would Gordon have earned under the old points system.

Let's get rid of the stage racing and get rid of the yellow out of bounce line at superspeedway's. Racing will be better for nascar.

Throwing a fake caution at the end of the race at Homestead cost Carl Edwards a championship. Breaks his heart. Nascar is fucked up!

Hard not to like a guy who won a race with a totaled racecar.

Rooted for JB every time.

You have to stop letting the Tv networks dictate the rules

Can somebody tell me why the races on green flag to checkered flag

Hendrick is running nascar now it's absolutely BS

On the all star race caution they should have just stopped the race and gone home

I do not particularly care for the never ending race endings. White/checker end.

If they didn't have the chase/ playoffs, there would never be the situation with MWR and the call to include Gordon. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Jeff, just lower your voice and anxiety level a little bit and youd be the best commentator ever, respect

Nothing is better than NASCAR. Always has drama. 🤣🤣🏁🍺

Sorry, Jeff. We need presidents in racing so 99 Exide gets my vote to win that race

People blame NASCAR but it's the drivers that are bringing the sport down. They just want to race single file every race at some generic track. The current system makes them have to go out and battle for positions which is the only thing that will bring in interest. That and more Talladega and Daytona tracks. Yes make the sport safe but please no driver unions, committees, whatever.

Man, turn the A/C down. Jeff looks cold

Little salty over the better Jeff! lol

There no place for the playoffs in racing

so u tellin me a 19 yr old with about 10 races in busch then daddy gets him a ride in cup is as good and as experienced as the old guard that it took years for most of them to work their way up?? bull

Jeff burton could drive folks. Back with roush. Exide car . He lead every lap . Only challenge all day was trying to lap Dale Sr. People like Dale Sr because he put on a show gave it all he had every lap.

NASCAR died when France Jr stepped in…

I'm sorry, love the content on this channel but couldn't make it through this video, whoever is breathing straight into the mic was really racking my nerves lol

Jeff Burton and. Dale just go together in the Booth Southern Boys Who know Racing. Put Jeff's boy in a Chevrolet Dale., Adios 🙏🇺🇸🏁

The whole chase and then these segments within the races need to be removed

Put them in cars that petty Pearson Waldrop Allison and Yarbrough drove

Sounds like he don't like Gordon, I mean gordon was in ultil the caution, soo?

A very good reason why they shouldn't be playoffs anyway

The Mayor

Uhmm, that call was the best decision! Getting cheated out of something, when it's factual Jeff Gordon would be in the "playoffs" without the cheating, must be corrected and it was.

Drivers were better back then

I like Jeff as a driver but tv booth can't stand to hear his voice talks to damn much

Can somebody tell me why races are not run green flag to checkers flag any more

Careful Jeff, your job's on the line

Unfortunately our beloved sport is nolonger nascar we grew up with. First it was restrictore plates now it 1 lug wheel changes.

Someone’s breathing really hard.

Happy I'm not jabbed

I wish they would Stop using the Name "NASCAR" It stopped Being NASCAR over 20 years ago. Today's NASCAR is just Glorified Go Cart Racing with "Rails"
