## Career

### NASCAR Pepsi Cup Series

After the 1995 season, Green was offered a contract from Buzz McCall, owner of the new American Equipment Racing team. Running the No. 95, Green returned to his former dominance, winning twice and finishing runner-up to Randy LaJoie in the championship chase. At the end of the season, McCall and Green elevated their operation to Winston Cup, this time as the No. 96 driver. Unfortunately, they were not able to duplicate their success, as Green failed to qualify for six races, and could only manage a best finish of 16th at the Coca-Cola 600. Despite this, he still finished runner-up to Mike Skinner for Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile, Green also served as a fill-in driver for Dale Earnhardt at Watkins Glen International in the event Earnhardt could not continue running after suffering injuries in a crash at Talladega Superspeedway. However, Earnhardt ran the full distance, and Green did not need to step in. After he could not manage a higher finish than 17th at Talladega Superspeedway in 1998, Green was fired from the 96 ride. Green returned to the Busch Series to drive the No. 36 Pontiac Grand Prix for Team 34. He drove for the rest of the year, and finished in the top-five in his first six races for the team. Late in the season, he received a call from Larry Hedrick Motorsports, who had been struggling following the release of Steve Grissom from their No. 41 Chevy. Green would run four races for Hedrick for the rest of the year, and signed to drive for them in 1999. In addition, he would run the No. 41 car in the Busch Series for Hedrick on a limited schedule. Still, Green continued to struggle, but had the lowest DNQ count (2) in his career.

As the season began to close, Green signed on for the rest of the season with Tyler Jet Motorsports, and enjoyed the best performance of his career, finishing a career-best 12th at Phoenix International Raceway, then won the pole the next race at the inaugural Pennzoil 400. Green did well in the Busch Series, running seventeen races and having seven top-tens and a pole position. He ran the Bud Shootout in 2000 in a car owned by Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and hoped to run the Daytona 500, but sponsorship problems forced that deal to fall through. Green would fill in for an injured Bill Elliott for two races later on that season, with a best finish of twenty-fifth.

In 2004 he returned to sign with Robert Yates Racing to drive the number 28 car. He got 18th in the standings. In 2005 he also raced and got 14th in the standings. In 2006 & 2007 he got 24th and 28th in the standings.

From 2007-2014 David never raced in the series. In 2015 he was gonna make some starts for HScott Motorsports but it fell through. In 2016 he raced the Daytona 500, Las Vegas, Auto Club, Martinsville, and Texas for SHR or Stewart HAAS Racing subbing for Tony Stewart in the 14 Bass Pro Shops or Code 3. In order he got 28th, 14th, 5th, 29th, and 10th in the races and ended up 40th in the standings. Later on he drove from the Food City 500 at Bristol to the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead in the number 15 Maxwell Coffee car for HScott Motorsports and got 2 top 10s and 1 top 5. Once again he did place 40th in the standings like said before.
