Jeff Burton was originally scheduled to run in that event, but he will now race in the July 13 Sprint Cup Series event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. In 38 starts at the 1-mile track, Burton has four wins, which is the most at one track in his Cup career and also the most of any driver at the track. "Our No. 66 team was originally scheduled to run some new components at Michigan with Jeff, but those plans were delayed last week, causing us to debate running Michigan at all," MWR co-owner Michael Waltrip said in a release. "However, after the great effort we saw with Brett in his debut at Dover, we decided to move forward with Michigan, allowing Brett more seat time and to work toward his NASCAR eligibility on bigger tracks."
