"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.'"
This woulda never happened to the Roadrunner beep beep
ReplyDeletethat's terrible
ReplyDeleteI read the story before the picture loaded. I thought it was going to be a joke. YUCK.
ReplyDeletenice reporting. now does he have to eat it?
ReplyDeleteNow that's Coyote Ugly! LOL
ReplyDeleteWould YOU want to eat it Anon 2:37?
ReplyDeletejoe - do the right thing and post a link to the pictures! a lot of people don't want those kind of pictures out there. seriously!
ReplyDeleteGross Joe. Much better if you gave warning or link to the images and allow the readers the option to view them.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many G's that is!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures were totally inappropriate without a warning so they could be avoided. I guess Michael Vick views your web page.
ReplyDeleteElmer Fudd would be proud
ReplyDeleteJoe, you don’t need a link for the pictures. Most of the time the one’s that act offended are rubber neckers anyway. They want to see the blood and guts if they can.
ReplyDeleteNever saw that comin'!
ReplyDeleteOh please...you didn't know when you were reading the article what the pictures would be?
ReplyDeleteIt's an ANIMAL. This type of thing happens quite regularly with dogs, cats and deer. It's not like the guy hit a child!
U people complaining are weak! I'm sure you see worse on TV all the time.
ReplyDeleteLighten up, Francis!! It's just a joke!! I gotta say, the roadrunner comment is hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteDisgusting. Purely distasteful.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I call raod kill. See what happens when you mess with a car going fast. Road Pizza
ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteGotta tell ya. I'm a little disappointed in this. You should have given us a warning with the link. That's just nasty.
Stop all you whining babies out there.
ReplyDeleteI don't want warnings and links!
GROW UP!
It's one thing if you check the site at home... but when I keep tabs on the news during the WORKDAY it is not appropriate!
ReplyDeleteAnon619 - maybe if you had a job you would understand.
ReplyDeleteYou all need to get over yourselves. It was quite obvious when reading the story and scrolling down, there was a picture loading. You could have chose to scroll past the pictures, or act offended and scroll slowly to the next article to get a glimpse so that way you could get on here and complain. Why don't you get out there and use you voice or comments for something productive?
ReplyDeleteNext PETA will be wanting to ban Nascar racing due to the possibility of this happening again.
Wow, that's worse than the time my raccoon got caught in the copier!
ReplyDeleteJoe, shhhh. Keep this quiet. PETA will be all over NASCAR.
ReplyDeleteIts not like he can swerve to avoid when he is going 200
ReplyDeleteWow, I think I threw up a little, a warning at least would have been nice, I didn't expect to see a picture of that there, I thought it was a joke at first too...come on Joe you know better than that...
ReplyDeleteAw c'mon!
ReplyDeleteI too, read it thinking it was a joke and was disturbed by the sudden picture.
As little as I like coyotes, I found this hard to take...
Please Joe, a little warning or post as a link.
