Charlotte, NC -- (Sports Network) - NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader will drive the No.96 Toyota in place of Brad Coleman for Hall of Fame Racing in this weekend's Sharpie 500 Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Schrader has 722 career starts in NASCAR's premier series. He has competed in only five races this year. Schrader is entered in Wednesday's O'Reilly 200 Craftsman Truck Series race at Bristol.

"Ken Schrader has a lot of experience at Bristol, and we felt with as competitive as the field will be this weekend, he gives us the best chance to be successful," Tom Garfinkel, co-owner of Hall of Fame Racing, said. "Brad Coleman will test for us next week at Kansas Speedway, and we plan on having Brad compete in more races throughout the remainder of the year. We look forward to working with Brad as he continues to gain experience at the Sprint Cup level."

Coleman, a Nationwide Series regular this year, has served as a test driver for HOF since November 2007. He took over driving duties for the No.96 car when J.J. Yeley was released from the team earlier this month. Road-racing specialist P.J. Jones drove the car at Watkins Glen. Coleman made his Sprint Cup debut last weekend at Michigan, where he finished 38th.
