Green is a veteran of the NASCAR Busch Series. In his 237 starts
in the series, Green has racked up 16 victories, 26 poles, 87 top-five
finishes and 126 top-10 finishes.
Green made his NASCAR Busch Series
debut at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway in 1990. He continued
to compete in the series on a limited basis before he landed a full-time
ride driving for Dale and Theresa Earnhardt for the 1995 season.
He finished fifth in driver point standings that year and established
himself as one of the series' most competitive drivers. Green continued
to improve on his performance taking fourth in the driver point
standings in 1996. In 1997, he scored the first of his 16 career
victories at the inaugural NASCAR Busch Series event at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway. After moving up to the NASCAR Winston Cup series
for limited schedules in 1997 and 1998, Green returned full-time
to the Busch Series in 1999 where he finished second in the NASCAR
Busch Series point standings.
In 2000, Green dominated the Busch
Series circuit. He racked up three wins, 15-top five finishes and
19 top-10 finishes on his way to winning the championship title
by the largest margin in the series' history - 616 points. In 2001,
Green continued his success taking home four wins, 16 top-five finishes,
26 top-10 finishes and three poles in a campaign that fell just
short of defending his championship title. His success in the Busch
Series caught the eye of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress and
in 2002 Green returned to the Winston Cup Series. In 2003, Green
has competed in partial Winston Cup and Busch schedules.
Green comes from a family of racecar
drivers and often shares the racetrack with his brothers David Green,
driver of the No. 37 Busch Series car and Mark Green who competes
in the Busch Series on a limited basis.
Jeff Green, along with his brothers,
founded The Green Foundation. The charitable corporation was established
to assist organizations dedicated to developing youth and to aid
families of drivers and crewmembers who have suffered severe head
and life-threatening injuries. While Green and his wife Michelle
currently live in North Carolina, he calls Owensboro, Kentucky home
- a place he returns to often to participate in his favorite pastimes
- hunting, fishing and exploring the outdoors.
