Jeb Burton gets first Xfinity Series win in rain-shortened race at Talladega

TALLADEGA, Ala. -- The rain came at a good time for Jeb Burton, helping him end a years-long personal winless stretch that had left him at times doubting his future in racing.

Burton got his first NASCAR Xfinity Series victory Saturday when heavy rain halted the action with 23 laps left, securing his first high level win since a truck race in 2013.

"The rain didn't hurt my feelings at all," Burton said. "Everything I've been through in my career, to get one, we didn't really care how we did it. But we ran up front all day.
