No. 1 Jeff Burton

The last time Jeff Burton was at Talladega Superspeedway for a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, he finished last.
His past three races at Talladega have not been that great. His best finish has been a 27th place in the fall race in 2006.
His only top-10 finish in his past five races has been a fourth place in the spring race in 2006.
“I’m always nervous to run at Talladega," said Burton, driver of the No. 31 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. "You have to go into that race thinking that there is going to be a multi-car incident and how am I going to miss it. To me, it’s a stressful Sunday morning and once the race gets going, I calm down. But as the laps start winding down, the intensity level just goes through the roof."
Burton's team is bringing the same car it raced at Daytona to start the season. It finished 13th in the Daytona 500, Burton's worst showing so far this year.
He is riding a six-race top-10 streak that started in Las Vegas and includes a win at Bristol Motor Speedway.
But Talladega is a different beast and it hasn't been kind to Burton in the past.
"It’s unbelievable how you can feel it there more than any other race track," Burton said. "At every other race track, if you’re racing for the lead you might be racing with maybe two or three other guys. At Talladega, you’re contending with 30. When the intensity level increases for 30 people versus three, it changes the way you race.”
