Bumped into Humpy Wheeler, outgoing president of Lowe’s Motor Speedway, and told him he will be missed.
His response? “Don’t worry about me. I’ll be around — and in a better role,” Wheeler said.
We don’t doubt it. But he still will be missed. Humpy always has been a go-to guy on any story that has had anything to do with Lowe’s Motor Speedway or even Speedway Motorsports Inc. It’s sad that he apparently didn’t get to go out completely on his own terms.

HUMPY
I know he has something going on, for him to leave the way he did.
It’s not like, Humpy to make a decision like that so abruptly.
I am digging around for more info.
I will miss him, but he is not gone from the sport not by a long shot!
Thanks Joe!
If you hear any more news about Humpy lets us know.

He is a great guy!
Maybe he can ‘buy’ Lowes someday!

Promote IRL?
Do you think Humpy would do IRL some good if he lends some of his talents to IRL? I’d like to see the IRL stage a comeback-the ratings on TV and in the stands seem to be falling and I’m afraid that open wheel racing is becoming a thing of the past here in the States.
