In addition, the team said Ward Burton would join the organization as a 'team ambassador' and would make appearances with Jeb during the 2015 NASCAR season.
In 49 starts in NASCAR's Truck series, Jeb had one win, seven top-five and 19 top-10 finishes and won seven poles.
"I am so thankful for the opportunity that BK Racing has given me," Jeb said. "It has been a dream of mine to race in the Daytona 500 ever since I was 9 years old and I stood with my dad in Victory Lane.
"I remember thinking to myself then in 2002, I would like to win the 500 one day. Now I have a chance at making that dream come true."
Ward Burton last competed regularly in NASCAR in 2007 and his brother Jeff Burton, Jeb's uncle, has retired as a driver and will serve as a TV analyst this season for NBC Sports' NASCAR coverage.
