Fountain, Co. –  Mark Green finished 29th and Kin Crosby ended up 39th in the Salute to the Troops 250 at Pikes Peak International Raceway on Saturday.

Green started in 27th position in the BMAR Support Our Troops Chevrolet and worked his way up to 20th by the end of the day. It was his highest finish since coming in 11th at Talladega earlier this season.

“The guys in the shop and at the track have been working really hard the past few weeks,” said Green. “We’re not there yet but we’re making a lot of progress. They did a great job in the pits today too.”

Crosby started in 39th position but was forced to bring the Vassarette Chevrolet into the garage when it developed engine trouble on lap 127.

“It was a tough run for us,” she said. “Unfortunately we had some engine trouble that slowed us down and forced us out of the race.”

Both Green and Crosby will be in action next week when the Busch Series heads to St. Louis.
