#29 Jeff Green, Cartoon Network Chevrolet Monte Carlo NASCAR Winston Cup Series Jiffy Lube 300 Advance New Hampshire International Speedway JEFF GREEN NOTES & QUOTES: JIFFY LUBE 300 LOUDON, NH - The #29 Cartoon Network NASCAR Winston Cup Chevrolet Monte Carlo that Jeff Green will pilot this weekend at New Hampshire International Speedway is a new car that has never competed. This will be the first time Green has competed at NHIS in a Winston Cup car, but notes that he likes the track and looks forward to the race this weekend. "New Hampshire is a flat track," explained Green. "Flat tracks tend to suit my driving style." Green has experienced success at NHIS in the past while competing in the NASCAR Busch Series. In 1995, Green dominated the race leading 121 of the 250 laps. In 1996, he finished fourth. Earlier this year he qualified third and finished 13th. The #29 Cartoon Network team unveiled a new car design in Daytona last week. On the hood, Tom & Jerry; right quarter panel, Cow & Chicken; left quarter panel, Dexter and Dee Dee; and TV panel, Droopy. The #29 Cartoon Network team tested at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 7-9 (Mon.- Wed.). While in Indianapolis, Green and the entire team waged some internal competition at a go-kart track owned by Indy racer Stefan Johansson. On Tuesday, July 15, NASCAR drivers Jeff Green and Elliott Sadler will be visiting The Children's Hospital at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., from 10 am until noon. Green and Sadler will be signing autographs and distributing gifts to the pediatric patients. Jeff Green will compete in the Legends Summer Shootout on Tuesday, July 15, at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Green is scheduled to compete against John Andretti during the celebrity race that features two NASCAR Winston Cup drivers each week.
