On this week’s episode of Bringing the Heat with Bryan Nolen, Nolen has a chat with Sports Business Journal‘s Adam Stern about NASCAR Silly Season, the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series schedule and an early look ahead on what the NASCAR Netflix show will look like.
Stephen Stumpf then joins Nolen to talk about the latest headlines in NASCAR, including getting rid of stage cautions for the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL, and they speculate on what the upcoming announcement for Kaulig Racing will be for its Cup future.
For the sound bite of the week, the guys listen to Chris Gabehart, crew chief for Denny Hamlin, on not being able to capitalize on having the fastest car at Kansas Speedway.

If Michael Jordan wants to win a championship, and we all know he does, he should hire Kyle Busch. Childress can’t support the greatest of his era. Chevy will never let Childress get better than Hendrick. Money rules. Childress lost out by putting nepotism in front of recruiting. Chevy is all in on Hendrick. Jordan has something in Reddick, but championship? Nah. Probably not there. Denny will never let Jordan hire his nemesis!
Jordan’s loss. Busch would probably jump to get back in Toyota camp and would definitely put 23×1 in conversation of trophies. Alot of trophies. Not just wishes.
Michael Jordan doesn’t care about winning. He only cares about making money. Look at his record since he bought an NBA team. Now look at his trades. He got rid of high salary players all the time. He made trades based on how cheap this guy was versus another players salary. You don’t have to believe me, look at the records, stats and news through the years.
