Kingsford Goes with Green for Charlotte Race

CONCORD, N.C. – Owner Tad Geschickter announced that Mark Green will be in the seat of the No. 59 Kingsford/Match Light Chevrolet for Saturday’s NASCAR Busch Series “Little Trees” 300 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

Last week, Green replaced Rich Bickle as driver of the No. 59 car and in his debut collected a ninth place finish at Kansas Speedway. According to Geschickter, the team will be looking at several drivers at the end of this season in an attempt to find one that will contribute to the long-term success of their racing program.

Lowe’s Motor Speedway is a 1.5- mile oval track located 20 minutes outside Charlotte, North Carolina and is home to an overwhelming majority of the Busch Series race teams. “There’s not a driver or team that wouldn’t like to win at Charlotte,” remarked Green. “It’s in our backyard and a place where your neighbors can come out to see you race.” Green has had success at Lowe’s Motor Speedway while driving in the NASCAR Busch Series. In 1997 he had a career best fifth place finish at the track.
