Jeb Burton, Blaine Perkins, and Jordan Anderson Set for Talladega Challenge
The team’s roster is anchored by Jeb Burton in the Sportsman Channel No. 27, Blaine Perkins piloting the Werner No. 31, and Jordan Anderson himself returning part-time in the Bommarito.com No. 32. Each driver brings a mix of experience and renewed determination as they face the 2.66-mile superspeedway’s infamous twists.

The race, covering 94 laps over 250.04 miles, stands as a notorious wildcard where teamwork, strategic pit stops, and survival instincts often dictate the course of the event. The drafting and pack racing Talladega is known for promise fresh challenges for every team on the grid.
Burton Seeks Redemption Where History Began
For Jeb Burton, Talladega has personal significance, serving as the venue for his maiden NASCAR Xfinity Series win in 2021 and for delivering Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport’s first victory in 2023. Earlier this season, Burton nearly claimed another win here, only to be denied in the final seconds after a caution review by NASCAR. Still, his season remains consistent—Burton has avoided failed finishes and arrives with seven top ten results.
“Talladega is always a rollercoaster — one lap you’re in it, one moment you’re not,”
said Burton, driver.
“I feel like we have a car capable of finishing strong. After what happened earlier in the season here, we’re hungry to prove ourselves.”
— Burton, driver
Perkins and Anderson Add to the Organization’s Strength
Alongside Burton is Blaine Perkins, who continues to find synergy with the team in his first full campaign. Earlier this year at Talladega, Perkins demonstrated competitiveness by racing inside the top 10 much of the day, overcoming late trouble to finish seventh.
“Talladega is one of those weeks where anything can happen. My goal is to be smart, stay out of trouble, and maybe surprise a few people when it matters.”
— Perkins, driver
The No. 31 Werner crew and Perkins are focused on remaining up front and seizing end-of-race chances that often emerge in NASCAR’s superspeedway battles.
Team owner Jordan Anderson returns to the driver’s seat this weekend, making his first start at Talladega since his scary 2022 accident during the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Anderson’s hands-on knowledge of superspeedway racing is an asset for the organization as it faces Talladega’s challenges together.
“I’ve always ran well at Talladega. I’m looking forward to getting back behind the wheel and earning some redemption,”
Anderson said, owner/driver.
“I’ve got full confidence in our Chevrolet’s. Our superspeedway program is strong, if we execute and avoid calamity, there’s no reason all three cars can’t be mixing it up late.”
— Anderson, owner/driver
Strategic Approach and Key Factors for Race Day Success
Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport’s focus this week will emphasize execution, adaptability, and working together. Drafting partners, fluid pit strategies, and staying alert to late cautions will be central to the team’s approach.
