#19-Jeff Green picked up the 83rd last-place finish of his NASCAR XFINITY Series career in Saturday’s Ford EcoBoost 300 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway when his #19 Premier Barter Exchange Toyota fell out with transmission problems after 3 of 200 laps. The finish, which came in Green’s 420th series start, was his 23rd of the 2015 season. He shatters his own record for the most last-place runs in a season by a NASCAR driver – 15, which he set in the 2013 XFINITY Series season, and is now a five-time LASTCAR champion. By rounding out the 2015 season with six consecutive last-place finishes, Green can also break his record of eight lasts in a row if he sweeps the opening three rounds in 2016. Green was 36th-fastest in the series’ final practice session of the season and timed in 27th in qualifying with a speed of 161.310 mph. The lone driver who missed the field was Morgan Shepherd, whose #89 Racing With Jesus Chevrolet ended up with its seventh DNQ of the season.(LastCar)(11-23-2015)
