David Green would not win another Busch race for 7 years after this 3. Clayton posted: 09.13.2008 - 11:51 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) All three Green's finished in the top ten in this race! 4.

I don't know if the Wallace's or Bodine's ever did that, but I doubt it. 8. sk posted: 10.13.2011 - 6:48 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) dale jr's sponsor for this one was "Mom 'n' Pop's". 9.

Middle brother Mark Green also had a big moment though as he recorded his first top-10 finish in Busch series competition. Mark Green's top-10 run was also the first for Clarence Brewer's famed Brewco team and its signature Timber Wolf #37 entry. 11. 48johnsonfan posted: 01.15.2018 - 10:36 pm Rate this comment: (0) (3) Fun Fact: This race was ran one day after I was born. 12.

But he didn't have too much time for the butterflies before the biggest race of his life was about to start and the sweat was because he'd just ran 4th in the late model stock car race that was the preliminary and jumped right in his Busch car to make his debut. 23.

He ran a late model stock race just before this one and finished fourth in that event before hopping in the black #31 here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
