Jeff Burton to Guest Star on General Hospital

NASCAR star Jeff Burton is coming to General Hospital.

The driver will portay himself in an upcoming March episode. Here's how this guest-starring stint will be set up:

Patrick is a huge NASCAR fan, as he'll meet the driver in a couple of scenes. In an interview on NASCAR.com, Burton said:

"I'm excited about going to the set of General Hospital and taking on a role with Jason Thompson. I've been in commercials and was a guest star on a sitcom a couple of years ago so I'm hoping those appearances prepped me for my soap-opera debut. Luckily, I get to play myself and talk racing, which will help take some of the pressure off."
