Fresh off his first Xfinity Series win, Jeb Burton has another first in store Saturday at Darlington Raceway.
The Kaulig Racing driver will make his Xfinity Dash 4 Cash debut. He’ll race for a $100,000 bonus against teammate AJ Allmendinger, reigning series champion Austin Cindric, and JR Motorsports’ Noah Gragson.

Along with going for a win and some extra cash, Burton is carrying a special Darlington throwback scheme on his No. 10 Chevrolet.
His throwback mimics father Ward Burton’s MBNA colors from his first Cup Series win in 1995 at Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway.
