Green finishes 22nd in Funai 250

Richmond, Va.– Mark Green drove the #23 Vassarette Chevrolet to a 22nd place finish in the Funai 250 at Richmond International Raceway on Friday.

Green started in 38th position and worked his way as high as fifteenth during the race. He finished in 22nd and was one of 25 cars to finish on the lead lap.

“We had some issues with our brakes,” Green said. “I just couldn’t drive into the corners as fast as I wanted because the brakes weren't there and that slowed us down a little.”

A late caution forced a green-white-checkered finish and Carl Edwards won the event by passing Elliott Sadler on the last lap.

The Nascar Busch Series is off next week before the season resumes in Charlotte on May 28.
