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."
