Keith Coleman Racing has Cup plans

Keith Coleman Racing, which has struggled on the Busch Series side, has opted to try to go Nextel Cup racing.
Team owner Keith Coleman said June 17 that his target debut for the No. 94 Nextel Cup car is the New Hampshire race in July. Carl Long is the expected driver, Coleman said, and the team could run as many as 15 races to end the year.
The team is still working on sponsorship. Keith Montgomery will be the team's crew chief.
"We will have experience at driver and crew chief," Coleman said. "Carl is terrific driver."
The idea would be to run a full Nextel Cup schedule in 2007. The team will remain based in Eddyville, Ky.
The team also plans to put Mexico native Eduardo Troconis in a car starting in the No. 23 car later this year, pending on sponsorship.
Troconis has driven stock cars in Mexico and also has International Formula 3 experience. He has worked for the team the last couple of months to learn more about the cars.
"You can't make any mistakes," the 27-year-old Troconis said. "You have to be at 100 percent all the time."
