Mark Green (racing driver)

Mark Steven Green (born April 8, 1959) is an American professional stock car racing driver.

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.

Green also ran two Craftsman Truck Series races that year for Brewco, finishing eleventh at IRP.

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.

38 Deka Batteries-sponsored 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.

Late in the season, he departed JRR and signed with the fledgling Keith Coleman Racing team, piloting the No.

7 Boudreaux's Butt Paste-sponsored Chevy for GIC-Mixon Motorsports, but returned to KCR to drive its No.

4 Geico-sponsored 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.

Green would go on to post three more top 15s and had a chance to win at Memphis Motorsports Park before an engine problem put him out of contention.

However, Green failed to qualify for the race at Bristol Motor Speedway and lost his ride shortly thereafter.

In 2012, Green returned for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in the fall at Richmond International Raceway, driving 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.

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.
