Nadeau Looks Ahead to the Coca-Cola 600:

"I don't approach this race any differently from any others just because it's longer -- it's just another race. We'll be carrying the Coast Guard colors on the car for the Coca-Cola 600. That's really the only thing different for the MichaelHoligan.com team at this race.

"I enjoy all the races no matter if they are short or long. Lowe's Motor Speedway is a good race track. It's one of the first places I raced stock cars -- I ran two ARCA (Automobile Racing Club of America) races there in 1997 and finished second and fourth -- so I always feel good about going back there."

U.S. COAST GUARD FAST FACT

The United States Coast Guard Cutter Sea Cloud became the first U.S. military vessel to sail with a racially integrated crew in November 1943. Approximately half of the crew was African-American, including three of the commissioned officers on board. The MichaelHoligan.com racing team is a proud partner of the United States Coast Guard.
