John Edward "Ward" Burton III (born October 25, 1961) is an American former professional stock car racing driver.
Burton began his NASCAR Busch Series career in the 1990 season and competed full-time for four seasons.
Burton's third season in 1992 brought his first win on February 29 at Rockingham in the number 27 Gwaltney car owned by Alan Dillard.
He completed the season in eighth place overall with one win, three Top 5 finishes and 10 Top 10 finishes.
His final full-time season in 1993 brought three more wins, nine Top’s 5, and 10 Top 10’s, ending up in sixth place in the final points standings.
Burton moved up to the Winston Cup Series in 1994.
In 1995, Burton started driving for Buz McCall in the No. 95 Caterpillar, Inc.-sponsored Chevrolet after John Tanner was released.
He returned to the No. 31 ride in 1995 but he was released on August 20, one day after finishing 6th at Michigan.
The next weekend at Bristol, he moved to the No. 22 Bill Davis Racing MBNA-sponsored Pontiac after 21 races, and he won the AC-Delco 400 at Rockingham toward the end of that season.
He drove for Bill Davis Racing in 1996 for eight starts in the No. 22 MBNA-sponsored Pontiac.
Burton did not start another Busch Series race until 1999 when he ran five more races for Bill Davis with a sponsorship from Siemens.
He accumulated three Top 5 and five Top 10 finishes including a second-place finish at Dover International Speedway.
He also ran one race for Innovative Motorsports and their No. 47 Chevrolet.
Caterpillar became the new primary sponsor for the car in 1999, when he picked up a career high 9th-place points finish, with 6 top five finishes and 16 top ten finishes.
He scored three second place finishes that season, at Las Vegas, Darlington and Rockingham, and on all three occasions brother Jeff won the race.
In 2000, Burton ran five more races for Davis with a sponsorship from Polaris Industries and one race with Innovative Motorsports.
In the 2000 season, he won the Mall.com 400 at Darlington Raceway and had seventeen Top 10 finishes to finish 10th in the final points standings.
He then ran two races in 2001 for Tommy Baldwin Jr..'s new team with a Pillsbury sponsorship.
He has five career wins in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, including the 2002 Daytona 500 and the 2001 Southern 500.
A member of the Burton racing family, he is the older brother of fellow NASCAR driver and NASCAR on NBC broadcaster Jeff Burton, the father of current NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Jeb Burton, and the uncle of current NASCAR Cup Series driver Harrison Burton.
He currently operates the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation, a conservation and sportsmans' organization.
In the 2002 Daytona 500, Burton drove among the lead cars and was among the lead pack late in the race.
However, he took the lead because Sterling Marlin, who was in front of him at the time, climbed out of his car and tried to fix a damaged right-front fender during a red flag, drawing a penalty as repairs are prohibited during red flag conditions except for non-points paying races.
As Marlin was sent to the back of the field at the restart, Burton inherited the lead and maintained it, holding off Elliott Sadler and Geoffrey Bodine for the win.
He also won the New England 300 at New Hampshire but due to numerous mechanical failures, he fell to 25th in the point standings, but after his win in Loudon, however, 2002 would mark the first and only time in his career that he would win multiple races in a single season.
At Bristol, he was involved in a wreck where he threw his brakepads at Dale Earnhardt Jr. for wrecking him in turn 3 late in the race.
2003 was a season of poorer finishes for Burton.
He only had four Top 10s, and he left Bill Davis Racing with four races left in the season to begin driving the No. 0 NetZero-sponsored Pontiac for Haas CNC Racing.
In the 2004 season, Burton raced Haas CNC Racing's No. 0 NetZero HiSpeed-sponsored car to three Top 10 finishes but was released from the team with two races left in the season.
He spent the next two seasons as a free agent.
On January 2, 2007 Brewco Motorsports Inc. announced Burton would drive the No. 27 Kleenex-sponsored Ford Fusion in the Busch Series in 2007.
Burton was to drive 20 races for Brewco Motorsports and Kleenex, beginning with the Orbitz 300 at Daytona International Speedway.
He was released late in the season.
