Jeff Burton will compete for Michael Waltrip Racing in a select number of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in 2014, according to a news release from the Cornelius, N.C. organization. Officials declined to specify the number of points races in which Burton will compete next season, but did say his first start would come March 9 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. MWR will field two full-time teams in Cup next season -- the No. 15 of Clint Bowyer and the No. 55 of Brian Vickers. The third team, which will carry the car number 66, will run a partial schedule with team co-owner Michael Waltrip slated to make the start in the season-opening Daytona 500 in February.
