NASCAR Sprint Cup Series haulers will be on display at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg today starting at 10 am, before they roll off in their annual parade through Pennsylvania’s capital city as a prelude to the upcoming NASCAR weekend at Pocono Raceway.

In Jeb Burton’s first full-time season in the series, the son of 2002 Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton is eleventh in the point standings with a best finish of tenth in his eleven starts – that coming in late February at Atlanta Motor Speedway. In the wake of Wednesday’s announcement, Burton has landed a Sprint Cup ride for the weekend ahead at Pocono Raceway.
