the end of NASCAR.......

Lets hope PETA doesn't get involved.... It will certainly be the end!:LOL:

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.'"

Now that is impressive, hate to be the body guy who has to clean and repair that mess.

Well, I would have to guess that he was looking away when he got hit - never saw what hit him.

Maybe leave just the head there as some voo-doo/Indian ritual thing to help him win races.

Hard to tell but from those pictures it doesn't look like it did a lot of damage to the front of the car. But what a mess to clean up. I think I would just cut that part off and put a new front on.

Out here in Arizona, hittin a coyote, a rabbit, bobcat, rattle snake, vulture and sometimes a near mis with a roadrunner is fairly common. I hear that some folks call this roadkill...Dinner.
