Ward Burton returned to NASCAR for the first time after a five year absence, driving the season-opening Daytona race for Hillman Racing.
Signing rookie driver John Tanner and sponsor Caterpillar Inc. for 1995, the team ran half of the 1995 season; Tanner was released after a handful of races and replaced for the majority of the team's races with Ward Burton.
He announced he would field the #82 Dodge in the Busch Series in 2005, with Kvapil at the wheel, and possibly expand into Nextel cup that same year, with NetZero sponsoring the #28 Dodge driven by Ward Burton.
NASCAR drivers Ward Burton and Jeff Burton are from South Boston and prepared for their racing career at South Boston Speedway.
In 1998 he moved to Bill Davis as the crew chief for Ward Burton.
