If you have never had a chance to meet Coleman, be sure to take the time to meet him the next time you see him race he is a great young man.

Patti, I can tell you that he made two new fans last night.
Been watching Coleman since his first visit to the Burg. Many great memories since. Coleman/Ballou battle and a epic Coleman/Peterman battle are two very memorable ones. He had em covered Midget Week. Also appreciated them loading a extra car up last year and letting JS drive Sprint Week at Kamp a couple years back.
This may be the most humbling, honored post we have ever made on IOW. The kind words you all have for Coleman and this Family are profound. We couldn't be more appreciative and honored that so many have pledged their well wishes and kind words about our Son.
It is a pleasure that we are able to compete in Indiana and Coleman has since made it his 2nd home; maybe even his first. Jill and I have watched him grow from a little boy to a young man during his 3 years in Indiana. The Bond that is Indiana Racing has helped form Coleman into the young man he is today and without the support of so many during the tough times, we may not have made it this far.
The Reynolds' of North Vernon Indiana, the Ryans of Milan and the Cripes from Frankfort have opened the doors of their homes for this Family and we are forever grateful. Coleman and Billy Mihok have become their adopted Sons.
We sincerely thank everyone for your support and hope Coleman, Brian and Billy can continue to provide you with a Team you are proud to support. We thank God for all his blessings and for the friends we have in Indiana. You are all first rate in life.
great job team cgr. your team will see alot of great things coming out of your camp and i have been your biggest fan when i seen that hauler pull in to the burg and said who in the heck is that and the guys i go racing with said that is some young kid out of new york and your town had a bad shooting that happen that week. i have seen this team and family put one of the great dreams that a child would want and put it to action. i put your team and colman in last year for team and driver of the year and there was some of the great iow fans thinking what up with that but when we get to the next time for votes i hope your team wins them both. job done well by all the great team at team cgr. hope you have some shirts still available when i see your team next time. oh buy the way happy fathers day pete great job
