Austin Chase Green (born March 26, 2001) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, driving the No. 87 Chevrolet Camaro SS for Peterson Racing and part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 77 Chevrolet Silverado RST for Spire Motorsports.
Early career
Green began racing go-karts at four years old, before transitioning to bandoleros when he was eight. He eventually moved into legends cars at age thirteen, winning numerous races, including the Legends Young Lions Winter Heat championship at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Trans-Am Series
Green ran part-time in the SCCA Trans-Am TA2 Pro-Am Series from 2021 to 2022, driving for Team SLR and M1 Race Cars, earning a best finish of twelfth at Watkins Glen International in 2022. He ran full-time in the series in 2023, driving the No. 89 car for Peterson Racing Group. He earned four podiums, five top-fives, and seven top-tens, ending the season with a fifth-place points finish. On January 9, 2024, he announced that he would return to Peterson Racing for the 2024 season, along with running a part-time Xfinity Series schedule for the team.
ARCA Menards Series
Green made his ARCA Menards Series debut in the 2020 Menards 200 at Toledo Speedway, driving the No. 74 car for Visconti Motorsports. Green started eleventh and finished seventh. In 2025, he would drive part-time with Pinnacle Racing Group in the ARCA Menards Series and the ARCA Menards Series East, where he would earn a win at Charlotte.
O'Reilly Auto Parts Series
2024: Series debut
On January 9, 2024, Green announced that he would run part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2024, driving the No. 87 car for Peterson Racing Group in nine races. In his first start at Circuit of the Americas, Green instead drove the No. 32 Chevrolet for Jordan Anderson Racing in collaboration with Peterson, and would finish in seventh place. This collaboration allowed PRG to share owner points with JAR to allow Green a better chance to qualify for races as the No. 32 had attempted all four races thus far in the season, and the No. 87 car had not attempted any races. The two teams would end up collaborating for all of Green's remaining starts, and he would end up not driving the No. 87 at all in 2024. Green finished in fifteenth in his second race at Portland before getting a career-best finish of fourth at the next event at Sonoma. In his next race at the Chicago Street Course, he finished in tenth, and at his next race at Watkins Glen, he finished in eleventh. He then made his first oval start at Bristol, where he finished in 38th after being involved in a crash with teammate Parker Retzlaff. His last start with the team for that year came at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL, where he finished in 30th due to engine issues. He then drove for SS-Green Light Racing in the No. 14 Chevrolet at Homestead, where he finished in 29th place.
2025: Best career finish
In 2025, Green returned to JAR in 2025, this time for fifteen races. Across the year, he finished in the top-ten five times, including a career best finish of second at the Charlotte Roval.
2026: Scheduled full-time for Peterson
On December 5, 2025, it was announced that Green would run full-time in the now-renamed O'Reilly Auto Parts Series for the 2026 season, driving the No. 87 Chevrolet for Peterson Racing, which split from JAR after a two-year collaboration with them to jointly field Green's entries in the series.
Green started the 2026 season with a 22nd place finish at Daytona. He and the team struggled until he scored top-ten finished at Talladega, and Watkins Glen. Green was sitting 24th in points, when on June 1, the team announced that Nick Sanchez would drive for them in four races, with Green doing Coronado and Sonoma. On July 24, Peterson announced that Sanchez would drive for them in five more races, making Green's future with the team unknown.
On October 7, Green announced on Motorstardom, that he would compete in the next three events from Charlotte through Talladega in the No. 87 to wrap up the season. However on October 15, Peterson announced that Sanchez would return to the No. 87 at Phoenix instead of Green. On October 19, Lee Pulliam announced he would drive the No. 87 at Talladega and Martinsville, with Sanchez doing Homestead. On October 21, after the team faced backlash following Pulliam's announcement that he would be running Talladega, it was confirmed that Peterson let go of Green.
Craftsman Truck Series
On October 15, 2026, it was announced that Green will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut for Spire Motorsports, driving their No. 77 at Talladega.
Personal life
Green is the son of former NASCAR driver and current official, David Green and nephew of Jeff Green and Mark Green.
