Default Coyote meets grill at 190 mph (graphic)

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.


It made quite a mess of the car
“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 some carnage!

Aside from the the blood, it almost looks like a head and pelt was just set into the grill opening.

I hit one doing 105 across Nebraska one night, in a company car. It just cracked the bumper cover, and he went flying. At the last second I saw him running up from the ditch, but there was no way I was going to try to swerve at that speed. I just said, "sorry dude, sucks to be you right now!"

that sucks. one time me and my girl were coming back from San Antonio and she was driving and the one minute I decided to get some rest, I heard this disgusting fucking thump. The wrench light came on so I knew we were fucked.. Turns out she had two options: kill one raccoon or the family of raccoons following it. Well, she took out the mom and left the babies. It didn't do anything to the bumper but the radiator was FUBAR and we were only like thirty mins from home... fucking animals.. that raccoon was fucking huge.

I always feel bad for these animals that get pelted like this, but I always wish I could just ask them, 'what were you thinking?' I know they aren't super smart, but you'd think instincts would take over at some point.
