Green prepares for Ameriquest 300

 

Eddyville, Ky. –  Mark Green will attempt to qualify for his third consecutive race at the California Speedway this weekend. 

Last week Green qualified 33rd for the Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway. He miraculously avoided any collisions on the track, finished on the lead lap and brought the BMAR Chevrolet home in 28th position.

“Any time you can get out of Bristol with the car in one piece, you’ve had a good race,“ said Green.

It is more of the same this week for Green as he will be forced to qualify on time behind the wheel of the #23 BMAR Chevrolet. With 49 cars entered in the Ameriquest 300, Green is one of 18 drivers competing for the 12 open starting positions.

“We’ve gotten used to it by now,” he said. “Every week we know that we are going to have to race our way in so it certainly keeps us on our toes. Some of the other teams can afford a hiccup during qualifying but we’ve got to be perfect every time.”

            “Mark will be fine,” said crew chief Jeff Schmidt. “We’ve got a good car and Mark is more than capable of laying down a great qualifying lap and having a strong race.”
