The Green family lineage runs deep in NASCAR. Both David Green and Jeff Green are Xfinity Series champions. Now, it’s Austin Green, David’s son, who’s carrying on the familial tradition.
Austin has been racing since he was 4 years old. He began racing go karts before transitioning to bandoleros and legend cars, running races like the Summer Shootout at the Charlotte Motor Speedway quarter mile. He was inspired by his father and uncles to chase the same dream.
“Always at a race track, so that was nice,” Austin said of his upbringing. “It’s normal for me being at the race track. I like that atmosphere. It’s a home away from a home.”
Fast forward to 2021 and Green was dipping his toes into Trans-Am, competing on road courses for the first time. It wasn’t until he connected with Doug Peterson, owner of Peterson Racing Group, that he raced full time in any division, coming in 2023.
