Ward Burton hopes his next trip to Daytona will be as a driver.

The 2002 Daytona 500 winner said Monday he is negotiating with two “established teams” a return to the Nextel Cup Series that he hasn’t been a part of since being fired by owner Gene Haas in 2004.

One possibility is the No. 88 car of Robert Yates Racing that is open in 2007 because of Dale Jarrett’s departure to the new Toyota team of Michael Waltrip Racing.
