Jeff Green

Green's first NASCAR start came in the 1990 Busch Series season. He raced in the Autolite Platinum 200 at Richmond International Raceway, finishing 22nd. He became a full-time driver in the series in 1995, and after consecutive top-five finishes in the points standings, he made 20 Winston Cup series starts in 1997 for the #29 Cartoon Network Chevrolet Monte Carlo, owned by Diamond Ridge Motorsports. Although he stayed with the same team for the first six races of the following year, he was let go mid-season(the team would shut down) and ended up driving the #46 First Union Chevrolet, owned by Felix Sabates, for most of the 1998 season. He would finish 40th overall in points.

Green turned his focus back to the Busch Series afterwards, which would pay off as he would finish in the top-two in points for the next three years. He finished in second place, 280 points behind Dale Earnhardt Jr., in 1999, his first full-time Busch series season since 1996. In 2000, he won the Busch Series championship by 616 points over ppc Racing teammate Jason Keller, the largest final points margin in series history. He also set a series record for most top-fives in a season with 25. After another second-place finish in the standings in 2001, this time to Kevin Harvick, he signed a three-year contract with Richard Childress Racing to drive the #30 America Online Chevrolet to return to the Winston Cup series.

While he had his finest Winston Cup career year in 2002 with a 17th-place standings finish, he struggled in 2003 and was released by RCR 11 races into the season. He was picked up by Dale Earnhardt, Inc. to drive the #1 Pennzoil Chevrolet, but in 12 races he failed to finish in the top ten during a race, and was replaced by John Andretti. He joined his third team of the year when he began driving the #43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge for Petty Industries, and finally settled down there. He has been with the team since, despite a 2004 season where he had only one top ten finish and finished 30th in points. Green continues to be the full-time driver in 2005.Jeff Green is the brother of fellow NASCAR drivers Mark Green and David Green.
