Answer: When Jeff Green takes the lead on the white flag lap of the ITT Industries 250 at Pikes Peak International Raceway, then motors on to his first win since 2003.

David Green grabbed the lead on the second-to-last lap and held off polesitter Clint Bowyer to win of the NASCAR Busch Series’ ITT Industries 250 on Saturday.

The ninth Busch win of Green’s career was his first since Oct. 4, 2003 — a span of 60 races.

“This came at a great time and is a good way to turn things around,” said Green, who started 14th in a Ford. “It was there the whole day, and I knew our car was good. I knew I had him in a lane he didn’t want to be in, and when we got to turn three, it was do or die.

“It played out really well in our favor at the end, and the key was not having any cautions.”

Green and Bowyer had a similar battle at the Federated Auto Parts 300 in Nashville, Tenn., last month when Bowyer got the best of Green. This time around, Bowyer didn’t have the tires to hold off Green.
