Jeb Burton opened a ton of eyes at Texas Motor Speedway as he finished top-five in his first NASCAR Xfinity Series start of the season for JR Motorsports.
Wednesday, Burton announced via Twitter that he has a ride for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series event at Richmond Raceway this weekend.

This will mark the second Cup race that Burton has driven for Rick Ware Racing in 2019. A few weeks ago, Burton finished 35th in the team’s No. 52 car after brake problems derailed his day.
