The finish came in his 5th career start. In the CART Series, it's the 1st for the #14 and the 3rd for running at the finish. Across all the series in the SCRL, it's the 8th for the #14 and 285th for running at the finish.
Greene was one of twelve drivers making their CART Series debut when the series was announced in early March. Greene would impress in his first ever race, qualifying and finishing 6th in his debut at Phoenix, 31st in the first Atlanta race before coming back to finishing 13th in the second trip to Atlanta before finishing 33rd in the last round at Indy after being caught in the race's first caution of the day.
The entry list for the series's fifth race of the season was back to the usual thirty three drivers as both Chris Kyle and Blaise Zebrataur's attempt at Indy are the lone planned starts for the two drivers for the entire season.
Ray Dent Jr. would win the pole with a time of 38.621 seconds, while Greene would struggle with his car, posting a time of 39.444 seconds, 0.823 seconds behind Dent's pole winning time, with Green posting the slowest time during qualifying and would start at the tail end of the field.
On race day, Greene would struggle more in the race, with the driver reporting to his team that the car was a struggle to drive and it was too tight, but Greene decided to stay on track, hoping another car would have a problem or a caution would come out to fix his car, but neither of those would come, as the the second time this second the race was ran caution free, with Greene finishing seven seconds behind the race leaders.
The remaining Bottom Five were: 32nd was the #4 entry of Joe Jefferson, 31st was the #42 entry of Danyal Gitirokh, 30th was the #87 entry of Chase Miller and 29th was the #44 Carl's Jr. entry of Georgio Tsutomu.
