NASCAR: High Banked Fury the Podcast with Jonathan Coleman of Charlotte Motor Speedway w/ Dave Moody of MRN Radio

Humpy Wheeler was a NASCAR legend. As the President of Charlotte Motor Speedway for 33 years, he saw that the drivers who bravely ran around the track could converge with entertainment that would put fans in the seats. Influencing drivers, teams, and anyone he came in contact with, he had that rare quality of touching lives in the smallest of ways. Charlotte Motor Speedway Communications Director Jonathan Coleman on Humpy with a special interview with MRN Radio’s Dave Moody. We also talk to drivers from two teams who did not make the CUP playoffs, and what is new in 2026.
