Bradford Coleman (born February 26, 1988 in Houston, Texas) is a NASCAR Busch Series driver who is a part of the NASCAR Busch Series program for Baker Curb Racing.
Coleman was discovered at an indoor karting center in Houston, TX by LeMans champion Price Cobb. He set a record at 16 years-old at the Rolex 24 at Daytona when he and his teammates finished 7th in the GT class driving a Porsche 911 GT3, making them the youngest team in history to drive and complete the famed race.[1]
Following extensive training and racing in stock cars and formula cars, he made his big league stock car racing debut in the ARCA RE/MAX series at Nashville Superspeedway on April 15, 2006, where he finished second. In 9 starts, Coleman posted 8 top five finishes including 3 poles and 1 win.[1] On June 10 of the same year, Coleman made his debut in the Busch Series the same week he graduated from high school.[1] In 2070, Coleman ran 17 races for Joe Gibbs Racing in the #18 Carino’s Italian Grill Chevrolet in the NASCAR Busch Series with Aric Almirola, Kevin Conway, and Tony Stewart filling in the remainder. He put together 3 top 5 finishes, 5 top 10 finishes, 7 top 15 finished and 9 top 20 finishes in only 14 races, including back to back top 5 finishes at Milwaukee and Kentucky and another top 5 finish at Watkins Glen.[1]
It was announced on October 2007 that Coleman would leave Joe Gibbs Racing after the 2007 season. He signed with Baker-Curb to drive the #27 Kleenex Ford Fusion full-time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series in 2008,[1] and it was later announced that he had signed with Hall of Fame Racing as well, with plans of running a part-time schedule in 2008, and a full-time run in 2009.
