Jeff Green picked up the 66th last-place finish of his NASCAR XFINITY Series career in Saturday’s Buckle Up 200 presented by Click It or Ticket at the Dover International Speedway when his unsponsored #19 TriStar Motorsports Toyota fell out with a vibration after he completed 3 of the race’s 200 laps.

The finish was Green’s series-leading sixth of the 2015 season and his second in a row.  The finish occurred in his 400th series start, a career that began on September 8, 1990 with a 22nd-place run in the Autolite 200 at Richmond while driving owner John Boatman’s #81 Pinnacle Racing Chevrolet.

Green remained in TriStar’s plain white #19 Toyota, which this week was one of 41 entries before the withdrawal of Aric Almirola’s #98 DenBeste Water Solutions / Shelby American Ford.  With all the remaining entries guaranteed a starting spot in Saturday’s race, Green ran 27th-fastest in the opening session and did not participate in Happy Hour.  He timed in 31st for the race at an average speed of 146.336 mph.

Seconds before the first caution of Saturday’s race fell for Ryan Sieg’s spin in Turn 4, Green pulled his Toyota behind the wall, done for the day.  The next two retirements came when both Morgan Shepherd in his #89 Racing With Jesus Chevrolet and Carl Long in the #40 Braille Battery / Grafoid Toyota exited after 33 laps.  Rounding out the Bottom Five were Jamie Dick and Brian Scott, who were involved in a grinding accident on Lap 64 where Scott’s crashing #2 ACME / Kraft Singles Chevrolet slid into the path of Dick’s #55 Viva Auto Group Chevrolet, eliminating both from competition.
