MARK GREEN NOTES & QUOTES: DETROIT GASKET 200
BROOKLYN, MI - Green and the Timber Wolf/Brewco Motorsports team are
making their Michigan Speedway debut in the Detroit Gasket 200,
marking their third career start on an oval track two miles or larger.
Green, an Owensboro, Kentucky resident who cut his racing teeth on
short tracks, adapted quickly to the larger, faster speedways. He
scored his career best finish, 8th, in his first race at Daytona
International Speedway in February.
"I've never race at Michigan International Speedway before this
weekend, but I'm really looking forward to it," said Green. "With its
long, banked corners, I expect it to be a lot like Atlanta Motor
Speedway.
"My driving style is very smooth and it allows me to get around
superspeedways without much trouble. With my brother David (Green)
helping us with the setup on the car, we should be fast right out of
the trailer."
- The No. 37 Timber Wolf Chevrolet Monte Carlo Mark Green is driving
at Michigan Speedway in named 'Thumper'. It is the same car raced at
Atlanta Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor
Speedway.
"'Thumper' is a very comfortable car for me to drive," said Green. "It
responds well to the changes we make to it," said Green. "Our finishes
with Thumper don't show how strong of a car it really is."
- Kyle Pilman joined the Timber Wolf/Brewco Motorsports team this
past week and works as a fabricator in the shop. Previously, Pilman,
worked with several different teams in the ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series.
- Mark Green is currently 13th in the NASCAR Busch Series standings,
186 points out of 10th place.
- Buddy's Mini Mart is an associate sponsor on the No. 37 Timber Wolf
Chevrolet Monte Carlo for the Detroit Gasket 200 at the Michigan
Speedway.
