Joe Gibbs Racing driver Brad Coleman was testing a Gibbs NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series car at Toyota Arizona Proving Grounds earlier this week and
came onto the radio and told his crew something rather unusual.
"Guys, I hit a coyote," Coleman said.
Coleman was running close to 200 mph around the 10-mile test track
when he saw the animal wander under the outside guardrail.
"I'm in the middle of the corner, and I'm doing like 190," Coleman
said Friday at Nashville Superspeedway before practicing his
Nationwide Series car. "I'm just cruising. You run the high line
there, because that's where the most banking is. It's the high-speed
lane. There's just a guardrail there like on the freeway.
"I see this thing, it must've been 100 feet in front of me, just jump
out. Right when I saw it come out from under the guardrail, I was
like, 'That's a coyote.'"
"It just started smoking like crazy," Coleman said. "And it smelled
terrible. I didn't see anything in the mirror, so I was like, 'I
wonder where it went?' I said, 'Guys, I hit a coyote. I'm going to
come in because I think it screwed up the radiator. I think it clogged
up the grille a little bit.'"
