Kyle Busch may not like it, but Brad Coleman will drive the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Nashville Superspeedway next month. Busch, third in the Nationwide points standings after Friday’s race at Richmond, has said he wants to try to defend his Nationwide championship, but JGR team principals Joe and J.D. Gibbs are against that idea. Steve DeSouza, vice president of the team’s Nationwide Series operations, said Friday at Richmond that Coleman will drive the #18 in the remaining standalone races. “Brad’s going to do about seven races in the 18 car,” DeSouza said, “and Matt (DiBenedetto) going to run six in the 20 car.”(NNS Racing)(5-1-2010)
