Heres something i picked up off of the nascar newsgroup....

Lysol 200                         Contact:  Craig Bailey          
June 27-29, 1997                            (704) 375-8587

                    Mark Green/Timber Wolf Racing Notes

     Mark Green and the Timber Wolf/Brewco Motorsports team
prepared for their first NASCAR Busch Series race on Watkins Glen
International's road course by testing the No. 37 Timber Wolf
Chevrolet Monte Carlo on the figure-eight track at the
Kentucky Motor Speedway in Whitesville, Kentucky on June 20.  
     "The car wasn't ready when we planned to test it earlier
this month, so we did the next best thing," explained Green.  "We
built a mock road course on the figure eight track to shake the
car down.  It really helped us a lot because we were able to
learn something about the car before we arrived in Watkins Glen."
     The Owensboro, Kentucky native is no stranger to road
racing.  The first nine years of Green's racing career was spent
competing in go-karts in the Southern Indiana Racing Association
where he won six consecutive championships.
     With no experience on a road course since 1981, Green has
been mentally preparing for the Lysol 200 by utilizing 'training'
techniques used by Winston Cup Series driver Bobby Labonte.
     "I've been racing at Watkins Glen with the NASCAR Racing
game on my computer at home," said Green.  "I've completed over
500 laps and won four races.  Bobby prepares himself by racing
each track on his computer and he's won both poles and races.
I've 'trained' several times this season and feel it has really
helped me prepare."

     Mark Green will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut
driving the Brewco Motorsports No. 37 Red Man Chevrolet in the
Sears Diehard 200 at the Milwaukee Mile on July 5.  Mark will
pull double duty during the weekend, driving the No. 37 Timber
Wolf Chevrolet Monte Carlo in the NASCAR Busch Series Sears
Auto Center 250 on July 6.

      Quick Fill Red Apple is an associate sponsor on the No. 37
Timber Wolf Chevrolet Monte Carlo for the Lysol 200 at Watkins
Glen International.  Headquartered in Warren, Pennsylvania, Quick
Fill Red Apple is a convenience store chain with over 360
locations in Central New York and Pennsylvania.

     David Green is making his 1997 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
debut driving the Brewco Motorsports No. 37 Red Man Chevrolet in
the NAPA Autocare 200 at Nazareth Speedway.  The driver of the
No. 96 Caterpillar Chevrolet in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series has
two previous truck series starts, with his career best finish,
ninth, coming at the Phoenix International Raceway in 1995.
     Brewco Motorsports will enter eight NASCAR Craftsman Truck
Series events in 1997 with David Green, Mark Green and Scot
Walters alternating driving duties.

     Mark Green will sign autographs on June 26 from 7:00 to 9:00
pm at the 'NASCAR Night In The Heights' Celebration in downtown
Elmira, New York.  On June 27 at 6:00 pm, Mark will participate
in the Lysol Racing Bowl Charity bowling tournament at Paramount
Lanes in Elmira.
