Contract issues keep Green from No. 25 Ford

McLaughlin to pilot car in Food City 250 at Bristol

MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Team Rensi Motorsports Co-Owner and President Sam Rensi announced this afternoon that Jeff Green will be unable to drive the No. 25 Team Marines Ford as previously announced.

Contractual conflicts surfaced after the announcement was made Monday afternoon that will prevent Green from driving for Team Rensi Motorsports.

Team Rensi Motorsports has named Mike McLaughlin to drive the No. 25 Team Marines Ford for Friday night's NASCAR Busch Series Food City 250 race. McLaughlin, a six-time winner in the Busch Series, has made 302 starts and amassed career earnings of $5,941,791, fifth all-time in the Series.

"Mike is a great competitor and we are happy to have him in the Team Marines Ford this weekend," Rensi said.

An announcement on a full-time driver is expected next week.
