Jeff Burton steals win at Bristol
Jeff Burton steals win at Bristol

Quote:
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Stuck in fourth with just two laps to go at a track he'd never conquered, Jeff Burton was ready to concede victory.
Then teammate Kevin Harvick bumped into Tony Stewart, sending both cars sliding and opening a hole for Burton to squeeze through. It was the break Burton needed, and it put him in position to win Sunday's race at Bristol Motor Speedway in a 1-2-3 sweep for Richard Childress Racing.
"Harvick and Stewart got together there, and that opened the door for me to squeeze in," Burton said. "When that happened, I viewed that as the opportunity. That was the door that opened. If we had any shot to win, then we had to jump through it."

Stewart should have won the race. And when he didn't, it gave Denny Hamlin a clear shot at victory. But the Joe Gibbs Racing drivers failed to seal the deal — again — at Bristol, allowing Burton to score his first victory here while leading teammates Harvick and Clint Bowyer to the first podium sweep in RCR history by pouncing when the JGR drivers faltered at the very end Sunday.

"We did the little things right," Burton said. "That's the sign that this team's matured. That's the sign of a team that's ready to take advantage of situations. I won't lose sleep tonight because somebody says, `We had a faster car.'
"All I know is we've got the trophy."
