Jeff Green Lands K&N Ride For Iowa

NEWTON, Iowa — Jeff Green, the 2000 NASCAR XFINITY Series champion, will team with Martin-McClure Racing to compete in this weekend’s Casey’s General Store 150 NASCAR K&N Pro Series event at Iowa Speedway.

The event pits teams from the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East against their NASCAR K&N Pro Series West counterparts at the seven-eighths-mile oval.

Green will be under direction of crew chief Matt Weber for the race weekend.

Green was a teammate of MMR team owners Hal Martin and Eric McClure during their time as drivers at TriStar Motorsports in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

“We’re privileged to add a driver of Jeff’s caliber to our program,” McClure said. “I think that the fact that drivers such as Jeff want to drive our equipment speaks volumes for what we’re creating at MMR.

“When I was a driver at TriStar Motorsports, Jeff was influential in my career. He filled after my accident at Talladega and subsequent illnesses the following year all while encouraging me every step of the way. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to thank Jeff for everything he’s done for me. I’m glad I can put Jeff in our equipment and have a strong shot at winning.”
