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.'"

The kid I was with (rancjh hand) was wide eyed and grinning but all he could say was "RUGGED". I think that means cool in teenager language now.
OMG... Grilled coyote! :D :D :D

Yeah he did. When that end got PUSHED up into the front end.
What is really funny is that I have hunted coyote all around the track ( West of it, South of it, and East of it). A few miles East of track used to be my favorite coyote hunting area until the county expanded their White Tanks Park and a couple of subdivisions sprang up. I still hunt the area but I have to be really careful not to shoot into the park. The Fish and Game person of that area warned me about a pair of Mt Lions living near the park. He asked me to "take care of them" if I see them. He doesn't like Mt Lions around hikers.....

I can just see it now. A little coyote symbol on the door. 1 down.
