Austin Green

Austin Green is an American professional stock car driver recognized for his versatility across multiple racing series. Competing full time in the SCCA Trans-Am TA2 Pro Am Series with Peterson Racing Group, Green also races part time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for Jordan Anderson Racing and in the ARCA Menards Series for Pinnacle Racing Group. His motorsports career began with go-karts at age 4, progressing through bandoleros and legends cars, where he won the Legends Young Lions Winter Heat championship at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Green has demonstrated adaptability and technical skill on both road courses and ovals, achieving multiple top-10 finishes in the Xfinity Series and an ARCA Menards Series win at Charlotte Motor Speedway. This victory made him and his father, David Green, one of the few father-son duos to win in ARCA competition.

Green’s career has included challenges, including sponsorship setbacks that temporarily paused his late model racing. During this period, he completed a business management degree at Appalachian State University, balancing education with his racing ambitions. Upon returning to competition, Green earned podiums and top-five finishes in the Trans-Am TA2 Series and delivered strong performances in NASCAR and ARCA events. His technical expertise, developed through grassroots racing and a methodical approach to car control and racecraft, has established him as a respected competitor in professional motorsports.

Green’s public appearances include races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Circuit of the Americas, Sonoma Raceway, and the Chicago Street Course, where he has consistently delivered strong results against experienced competition. His ARCA victory at Charlotte, achieved in only his second career start and after nearly five years away from the series, highlighted his determination and ability to perform under pressure. Green’s reflections on his career and the lessons learned from both successes and setbacks position him as a knowledgeable public speaker, offering insights into perseverance, adaptability, and the pursuit of excellence in motorsports.
