Brad Coleman on
Nashville:
“I’m really excited about making my
NASCAR Busch Series debut at the Nashville Superspeedway, which was also the
location of my ARCA debut.
“I feel really comfortable with the
track. I know that when we go out there with the Busch car, we will do very
well. My guys have been working extremely hard to get the car prepared for June
10th.
“I can’t believe it was just four
years ago that I was racing karts and now I have the opportunity of a lifetime
to race in a Busch series race. I am so blessed.”
