Racing is a family tradition for Jeff Green and in 2003, Green joined Petty Enterprises, a race team rich in family tradition. In 13 years of racing, Jeff Green has competed in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, Busch, and Craftsman Truck Series. Proven to be a fierce racer, Green is driven to succeed.

Every driver wants to be a champion and Green accomplished just that in 2000 when he dominated the NASCAR Busch Series and claimed the championship. Green did not just win the championship, but shattered the record for the largest margin of victory by winning the title by 616 points.

Green has 125 career starts in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series and has driven for many reputable teams including Richard Childress Racing and Dale Earnhardt, Inc. In his NASCAR NEXTEL Cup career, Green has earned ten top-10 finishes, five top-five finishes and two pole positions. Green's most recent pole position came at the prestigious Daytona 500 in 2003.

When Green began driving for Petty Enterprises, he formed an immediate connection with crew chief Greg Steadman and the entire #43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker racing team. Green raced for Petty Enterprises for the entire 2004 season and will pick up again in 2005.

A fixture on the NASCAR circuit for more than 20 years, Kyle currently drives the #45 Georgia Pacific/Brawny Dodge in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series. Kyle is one of the few third generation athletes competing in professional sports, following in the footsteps of his father Richard and Grandfather Lee. In 1979, he entered and won his first stock car race at Daytona International Speedway and then went on to make his NASCAR Cup debut that same year. Throughout his 23 years in the sport, Kyle has collected eight victories, eight poles and 51 top five finishes.

In addition to his driving responsibilities, Kyle runs the day-to-day operations of Petty Enterprises, one of the most successful organizations in motor sports history. The organization fields two full-time NASCAR teams - the #43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge of driver Jeff Green and the #45 Georgia Pacific/Brawny Dodge in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series.

Recognized throughout motor sports for his charitable contributions, Kyle has dedicated his time away from the track to helping others. Kyle's continued efforts have earned him several awards including the March of Dimes Sportsman of the Year, National Motorsports Press Association's Myers Brother Award, multiple honors as the True Value Man of the Year, and consecutive honors as NASCAR Illustrated Person of the Year. His annual Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America has raised more than $3 million for children's charities since its inception in 1994. In addition to his primary charities, Mr. Petty has supported numerous others including Starbright Foundation, KaBoom!, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camps, Duke Children's Hospital, Brenner Children's Hospital, Make-A-Wish, Boy Scouts of America, The Race to End Hunger, and the NASCAR Cup Racing Wives Auxiliary, just to name a few.

In October 2000, Kyle and his wife Pattie partnered with actor Paul Newman to launch their most ambitious project to date-The Victory Junction Gang Camp. The project was founded in honor of their son Adam (the first fourth generation professional athlete in the United States) who was killed in May 2000 during practice for a NASCAR Busch Grand National Series race in Loudon, New Hampshire. The camp opened in June 2004.

But, as busy as he is, Kyle still finds time for the important things in life - spending quality time with family and friends. He also enjoys reading, collecting Elvis memorabilia and riding his Victory Motorcycles. He lives with his wife Pattie, daughter Montgomery Lee and son Austin in Trinity, North Carolina.
