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."

Why come back now?
Well, what lured me back was [head writer Robert Guza Jr. and executive producer Jill Farren Phelps] and a great storyline idea. Also, remembering the five years I had on the show previously, and how much I loved it.

What kind of feedback are you hearing from the fans so far?
Some fans have sent me messages saying that they really love Rebecca, that it's sort of a dream role for me; it's something really fun and different. They're really happy that I get to play that. It's been really good and positive.
