Brad Coleman put himself in good position to win his
first career checkered flag.
Coleman posted the fastest time in Friday night's NASCAR Busch Series
qualifying session and will start from the pole in Saturday's Aaron's
312 at Talladega Superspeedway.
It was the first career pole for Coleman, who clocked 184.299 miles per
hour in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo. A rookie for Joe Gibbs Racing, Coleman
has finished no higher than 15th in his first four starts this season.
