After over three decades as the ultimate showman in NASCAR, Humpy Wheeler did one final high kick and exited stage left this past weekend.

As a man who made a 50 year old track look new and exciting he left with one last great show and thanks to Kasey Kane and perfect weather it was classic Humpy. 

I met Mr. Wheeler, very briefly a few years ago at Lowes Motor Speedway. I was the guest of MCI and he stopped by their suite to make sure everything was to our liking.  He was soft spoken and in a hurry.  A man always in a rush to get to the next thing….to make sure it was to the customers liking.  During that same visit I got to met Joe Gibbs.  Both were classy and carried themselves with a low level of self importance.  Both are the best at what they do.

Brian France says he might be able to find something for Mr. Wheeler within NASCAR. I hope he does. 
I get the feeling his “2^nd act” could be a doosey.
