NASCAR Winston Cup Series Hanes 500 Preview: #29, Jeff Green
25 September 1997
#29 Jeff Green, Cartoon Network Chevrolet Monte Carlo NASCAR Winston Cup Series Hanes 500 Advance Martinsville Speedway JEFF GREEN NOTES & QUOTES: HANES 500 MARTINSVILLE, VA - "I have only raced at Martinsville once, so my impressions of the track are very limited," says Green. "I ran at Martinsville in a Busch car in 1991 for John Boatman. I started pretty decent, but my brakes didn't last. I can at least carry that knowledge with me this weekend. I will be focusing on getting the car hooked up so it can get in the turns easily, which will help save the brakes. We are very concerned with the brakes and will do everything we can to conserve them. The ultimate goal for the Cartoon Network Chevrolet this weekend is to finish the race with brakes. If we have brakes for the entire race, we should earn a respectable finish." - The #29 Cartoon Network NASCAR Winston Cup Chevrolet Monte Carlo Jeff Green will pilot this weekend at Martinsville Speedway is the same car that competed at Martinsville in April and both Loudon events. - Jeff Green and the Diamond Ridge Motorsports Winston Cup team tested at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 1997. They were among approximately 20 cars and were fifth fastest of those cars. They had intended to test on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 1997, but rain halted the rest of testing at CMS.
