Mark Green

Mark Steven Green (born April 8, 1959) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He is the brother of drivers, Jeff Green and David Green.

Early career Green began his racing career in 1973, racing go-karts in the Southern Indiana Racing Association. During his tenure, he won six consecutive championships. He then moved on to the late model division at several local speedways. Among the tracks he competed on were Nashville Speedway USA, Beech Bend Raceway, and Kentucky Motor Speedway. From 1988 to 1991, he also competed in the All-American Challenge Series. In 1993, he won sixteen of twenty races at Beech Bend and won the track championships there, from 1991 to 1993.

Motorsports career 1995–2000 Green made his Busch Series debut in 1995 at Indianapolis Raceway Park. He qualified the No. 41 Brewco Motorsports Chevrolet in the 28th spot and finished 18th. He signed to run ten more races in 1996, in the No. 37 Timber Wolf Chevy. He posted his first career top-ten at Myrtle Beach Speedway, where he finished tenth, in addition to qualifying on the outside pole. In 1997, Green and Brewco ran the full schedule, posting five top-tens including a career best fifth-place finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He finished eleventh in points. Green also ran two Craftsman Truck Series races that year for Brewco, finishing eleventh at IRP.

In 1998, Green continued to drive for Brewco but only had four top-ten finishes. After his thirteenth-place points finish, Green departed from the team. He joined Washington-Erving Motorsports, driving the No. 50 Dr Pepper Chevy. His best finish that season was tenth at the Yellow Freight 300 and he dropped to 21st in the standings. He exited the ride due to a lack of funding and drove the No. 63 Exxon Chevy for HVP Motorsports and had a seventh-place run at Talladega Superspeedway.

2001–2005 In 2001, Green was announced as the driver of the No. 55 Davis & Weight Motorsports Ford Taurus in the Busch Series. After two top-twenty finishes early in the season, Davis & Weight announced it was closing its Busch team to run the Winston Cup Series. When that deal failed to materialize, Green ran out the remainder of the schedule for various teams, his best finish a ninth at Kansas Speedway for ST Motorsports. He also made his first Cup attempt at the NAPA 500 in the No. 41 for A.J. Foyt Racing but failed to qualify.

Green began 2002 without a full-time ride. He began driving the No. 38 Deka Batteries Ford for Akins Motorsports, sharing the ride with Christian Elder. He had to miss some time after suffering a broken left foot in a hard crash on the last lap during the spring race at Bristol Motor Speedway with Larry Foyt. He had a second-place qualifying effort at Pikes Peak International Raceway, and ten top-twenty finishes before winding up 32nd in the points. In 2003, he lost his ride and drove five Busch races for various teams, his best finish a twentieth at the Stacker 200 for ORTEC Racing. He attempted the Cup race at Lowe's Motor Speedway for Foyt again but did not qualify.

Green drove various cars for Jay Robinson Racing in 2004. His best finish for Robinson was a 21st at Nazareth Speedway in the No. 49 Advil Ford. Late in the season, he departed JRR and signed with the fledgling Keith Coleman Racing team, piloting the No. 26 lovefifi.com Chevrolet. In five starts with KCR, his best finish came at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where he finished 23rd. He began 2005 in the No. 7 Boudreaux's Butt Paste Chevy for GIC-Mixon Motorsports, but returned to KCR to drive its No. 23 Vassarette Chevy, finishing eleventh at Talladega. He was released towards the end of the season.

2006–2008 Mark Green (No. 70) leads Greg Biffle (No. 16) down pit road during a caution in the 2007 Ford 300 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. Green was announced as the driver of the No. 4 Geico Dodge Charger for Biagi Brothers Racing in 2006, and opened the year with a tenth-place finish at the Hershey's Kissables 300. Despite two additional fifteenth place runs, he was dismissed early in the season, and replaced by rookie Auggie Vidovich II. After beginning the 2007 season as a test driver for Michael Waltrip Racing, he replaced Justin Diercks in the No. 70 car owned by ML Motorsports, and finished the year with the team, his best finish being nineteenth at Gateway. Still with ML Motorsports in 2008, Green had a best finish of fifth at Talladega. Green would go on to post three more top fifteens and had a chance to win at Memphis Motorsports Park before an engine problem put him out of contention.

2009–present Green started 2009 with the team again. However, Green failed to qualify for the race at Bristol Motor Speedway and lost his ride shortly thereafter. He then joined JD Motorsports as the driver of the No. 0 car. After several races, Green swapped with Kertus Davis to join Jay Robinson Racing to drive the 49 car. The No. 49 car and Mark Green were sponsored by Getmorevacations.com for a portion of the 2009 season. When Getmorevacations.com dropped out of the sponsor position, Juggle.com began to give support. Green finished in 26th-place in the final race of 2009 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. 2010 brought Green back with Jay Robinson splitting time between the No. 49, and No. 70 cars. In most of the races that Green was in the No. 49, he was a start and park. When he was in the No. 70 (which was a partnership between JRR and ML Motorsports), he ran the distance and had moderate success with several top-25 finishes and a couple of top-twenty finishes.

It was reported that Green had retired in 2011 but ended up driving the No. 49 car for Jay Robinson Racing during the latter half of the season. In 2012, Green returned for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in the fall at Richmond International Raceway, driving the No. 0 Toyota for SS Motorsports, but failed to qualify for the event. Green currently serves as Director of Driver Development for Rev Racing, as well as serving as a test driver for the team.

In 2021, Green drove the No. 02 Chevrolet for Young's Motorsports in the ARCA Menards Series race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in place of regular driver Toni Breidinger, his first start in the series since 2001 as well as his first start in a NASCAR sanctioned event since 2011. His entry was also fielded in collaboration with Rev Racing. He would go on to finish in seventeenth after running five laps due to vibrations in the car.
