NASCAR BGN: Mark Green and Brewco to Part in '99

30 September 1998

Mark Green and Brewco Motorsports Mutually Agree to Part Ways Following 1998 NASCAR Busch Series Season

Central City, KY: Brewco Motorsports Inc., which fields the No. 37 Timber Wolf Chevrolet Monte Carlo in the NASCAR Busch Series, announced today it has mutually agreed to end its four year relationship with driver Mark Green at the end of the 1998 NASCAR Busch Series season.

"Mark has done a tremendous job over the last four years with Brewco Motorsports," said team owner Clarence Brewer Jr. "He is a solid driver, a good friend and also one of the best sponsor representatives in NASCAR racing. Mark and the entire Brewco Motorsports organization has worked hard to put the No. 37 Timber Wolf car in the winners circle. Maybe the chemistry was just not there.

"This was a very difficult decision to make," said Brewer. "I consider Mark a good friend but the change is necessary to benefit all involved. We are announcing this to allow Mark the opportunity to land a quality ride while some are still available. If any team wants to ask my opinion of Mark, I'll give them my endorsement of him not only as a driver, but also as a person."

The driver of the No. 37 Timber Wolf Chevrolet Monte Carlo for the 1999 NASCAR Busch Series season will be announced at a later date.

"We've spent four years and two full seasons together, but, as a team, have not progressed as we should have," said Green. "Hopefully, this change is the best for everyone involved. I'm currently looking for options for 1999 in the Busch Series."

Brewco Motorsports, based in Central City, Kentucky, also fields the No. 37 Red Man Chevrolet in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with driver Scot Walters and will field a NASCAR Busch Series team for driver Casey Atwood in the 1999 season.

Mark Green Considering All Options For 1999 Season

Owensboro, KY - NASCAR Busch Series veteran Mark Green and Brewco Motorsports recently announced plans to part ways following the 1998 NASCAR Busch Series season. The Owensboro, Kentucky resident is currently considering all options for the 1999 season and beyond.

"With the announcement of my plans to leave Brewco Motorsports, I've recently become available for the 1999 NASCAR Busch Series season," said Green. "I have much to offer both on the track and off. My goal has always been to win races and to promote a positive image for my sponsors and I that has not changed."

Green comes from a family rich in racing tradition. His older brother David, the 1994 NASCAR Busch Series champion, drives the No. 36 Pontiac in the NASCAR Busch Series, while his younger brother Jeff drives the No. 46 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series.

"Over the years, my brothers have made many changes in racing," continued Green. "Nearly every time it has proved to beneficial to their careers. The decision to part with Brewco was difficult because they are like family, but changes were necessary."
