Both Jeb Burton and Parker Retzlaff will return to Jordan Anderson Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2024, the team announced Nov. 2.
Burton will continue to drive the No. 27, while Retzlaff remains in the No. 31.
In its second season fielding a full-time entry in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and first entering two full-time cars, the team earned its first win with Burton at Talladega Superspeedway in April.
“Perseverance and vision have been the cornerstone of our team’s journey and long-term expansion,” team president Jordan Anderson said in a release. “The evolution from our early days to a two-car team has been nothing short of a dream come true. This year’s milestones, including our first victory at Talladega and consistent top 10 finishes, have set the bar high for 2024.
“We’re eager to build on the opportunity of consistency with Parker and Jeb, alongside our amazing team and partners that make this journey possible. It takes a village, and there are so many incredible people that believe in the vision to keep this growing.”
In addition to his second career win, Burton has recorded six top 10s and an average finish of 15.8. He qualified for the Xfinity playoffs for the second time in three seasons, being eliminated in the Round of 12.
2023 is Retzlaff’s rookie season; he has earned one top five, seven top 10s and sits 16th in points.
The team also announced that State Water Heaters would return as Burton’s primary sponsor along with Celsius, Rocky Boots and Puryear Tank Lines, while FunkAway will also be back with Retzlaff.
