There is a pretty good article on nascar.com about the ’separation’ between Humpy Wheeler and Bruton Smith.
You know, something happens to people when they get older, they seem to revert back to pre-adolescent behaviour. I’ve seen this happen time and time again. My grandparents on both sides of the family ‘reverted’ once they entered into their late 60’s and early 70’s. They became more stubborn and set in their ways and no one was going to tell them otherwise - they became the masters of ‘grudges’.
It would appear that Smith and Wheeler are not immune to this phenomena. It is a shame that this duo ‘tour de force’ of NASCAR promotions couldn’t have lasted a while longer and ended more amicably, it would have been more fitting for everyone involved - fans included.
What I hope for is that someone, like California Motorspeedway, hires Wheeler to become their director of promotions. If anyone can get those empty seats filled at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana it is Wheeler.
Wouldn’t it be great if Wheeler somehow got the All-Star race moved to California?
I can’t think of a better way for Wheeler to say, “Take that Bruton” than by doing that, can you?
