Daytona 500 champion is noteworthy enough! Royalbroil 03:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name[edit]

This isn't a very big problem, but is there any reason why the article points out that he was born Ward Burton when his name is Ward Burton? It's probably for clarification's sake, but it kind of bothers me. I'm sure it's nothing, though. I just thought I'd point it out. Wlmaltby3 09:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a link[edit]

I work for the America's Most Wanted Safety Center, a new department of America's Most Wanted getting away from the capturing of criminals, and branching out to all aspects of safety. I feel a link to our post about safe driving would be appropriate and mutually beneficial, as it includes a one minute video of Ward Burton talking about driving safety. The link is http://www.amw.com/safety/?p=90 please consider it. Jrosenfe 15:16, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good for you! Mindman1 00:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Last Busch Race[edit]

If anyone can remember what race was Ward's last Busch race, I'd appreciate it if you'd add it to the sidebar.Crehberg (talk) 00:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification[edit]

Can someone please clarify which is Ward's birthplace? The bio says South Boston, but in the Personal Life section, it lists Danville as his birthplace. Libertine States of America (talk) 15:45, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
