Humpy Wheeler Stepping Down

Humpy Wheeler seemed to be in the news a bit more this year than before, and I couldn’t figure out why. Now I know.

Humpy Wheeler, the “P.T. Barnum” of NASCAR promotions, will retire and step down as president and general manager of Lowe’s Motor Speedway, The Associated Press has learned.

This weekend’s Coca-Cola 600 will be Wheeler’s last race for Lowe’s Motor Speedway, two people familiar with the decision told the AP. They requested anonymity because an official announcement, which could come as early as Wednesday, has not yet been made.

He prides himself as a master prognosticator, annually predicting the winner of the All-Star race in grand fashion. Last week, Wheeler used a backflipping dog to predict the acrobatic Carl Edwards would win Saturday night’s $1 million sprint. He didn’t.

Wheeler’s had just two right since 2001 after correctly picking six of seven winners from 1989-95.

I wonder if he will still make his yearly prediction?
