In a recent conversation with NASCAR on Fox, Burton was asked about the "pointers" he gets from his father.
"I think there's times when he's very useful and you know with his racing IQ he's been around for so long. He's seen it all. He's done it all If I didn't use him as a resource, you know in my racing career I'd be done," Burton said (at 0:08).
Burton added (at 0:22):
"I have to find out things for myself I have to do things for myself and the way we race and the things we do now is very different from when he was around."
