Brad Coleman was hoping to be racing at Auto Club Speedway this weekend. Now he’s unsure of exactly when he will get back in the seat of a race car. But he expects it will be before the end of the year. The 20-year-old driver started the season as a development driver for Hall of Fame Racing and is under contract with the team for 2009. Coleman drove the #96 Hall of Fame Racing Sprint Cup car at Michigan, but has not raced the car since then. “I’ve learned how to deal with adversity in this business,” Coleman said. “You can have something bad happen at any time. You can be having the best year of your career and then before the year is over, it will turn into your worst pretty quickly. You’ve always just got to remember to keep your head up and never give up. “¦ I have no idea [about my 2009 schedule]. I want to get as much seat time as I can.” Coleman tested the Cup car this past week at Kansas Speedway in a Goodyear tire test and the team has indicated that it is still committed to his development.(SceneDaily.com)(8-31-2008)
