Indy ORP: Coleman to qualify for Kyle Busch

Coleman to Qualify Car for Kyle Busch at ORP

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 19, 2010) - Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Brad Coleman will practice and qualify the No. 18 Fleet Locate Toyota for 2009 defending series champion Kyle Busch this weekend in Indianapolis.

Busch, a two-time NASCAR Nationwide winner at ORP, will be busy down the street getting ready for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Coleman qualified outside pole last year at ORP and hopes to be able to put Busch up front for the start Saturday night.

"Last year we qualified outside pole and I will do everything I can to give Kyle a great starting position for the Kroger 200 this year," said Coleman. "You always want to be the guy behind the wheel when they drop the green flag but it is also an honor anytime you are in a JGR car and able to work with one of the best all-time drivers in the sport."

Coleman comes off a tough Gateway weekend where after fighting a variety of technical difficulties throughout the race he was eventually collected by teammate Matt DiBenedetto on lap 150 to end his eventful evening.
