Legendary NASCAR race promoter H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler will serve as Grand Marshal for this Sunday's ARCA RE/MAX American 200 at Rockingham Speedway. Wheeler will wave the green flag to begin the 200 mile event.

“I am so glad my good friend Humpy Wheeler has accepted this honor for Sunday’s race,” said Rockingham Speedway President Andy Hillenburg. “While I still have a lot to learn about race promotions, Humpy has been a great mentor to help me and Rockingham Speedway get where we are at this point. I am truly appreciative for all he has done.”

Wheeler retired as the former President and General manager of Lowe's Motor Speedway last year and is currently chairman of The Wheeler Company, a consulting firm Wheeler founded in 2008 with his son, Trip. The Wheeler Company uses the Rockingham Speedway for testing and practice for their driver development program, Humpy's Heroes.
