NASCAR ROADKILL
« on: Aug 28, 2009, 12:34:33 PM »
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.'"

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Apparently the ACME Rocket Skates aren't what he was lead to believe.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
