Jeb Burton announced his joining of RSS Racing for the 2027 NASCAR O Reilly Auto Parts Series. The No. 22 car is particularly significant to him, as his father Ward Burton won all five of his Cup Series races in the same number. Burton, with over 200 NOAPS races under his belt, has secured two victories, both at Talladega in 2021 and 2023.
He has also amassed 34 career Cup starts and began his NOAPS career in 2013, becoming a full-time driver in the series since 2021. Burton drove for Kaulig Racing in 2021 and Jordan Anderson Racing in 2023 before joining RSS Racing. RSS Racing, a family-owned team, has earned two wins, one of which came at Sonoma in 2023 with Aric Almirola behind the wheel.
The team currently operates the No. 39 and No. 28 cars full-time, alongside an additional third car for different drivers.
