Quote selected text Published May 14th, 2008 in NASCAR News
H.A. “Humpy” Wheeler named Carl Edwards as his pick to win Saturday night’s Sprint All-Star Race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Wheeler revealed his selection today in uptown Charlotte with assistance from a pack of four-legged friends, including Princess, the back-flipping dog.
“Carl Edwards is a racer’s racer in the mold of Dale Earnhardt and Cale Yarborough,” said Wheeler. “He will put his car in places angels fear to tread and beneath that big smile and his trademark back flip, Carl has an abnormal fire in his heart to win that I have seldom seen.”
Known for his promotional flair and Karnac-type ability, Wheeler, president and general manager of Lowe’s Motor Speedway, has correctly picked the winner of the Sprint All-Star Race 10 times in the past 19 races. While Edwards’ burning determination was key in Wheeler’s decision, it was the early season performance of the #99 Office Depot Ford that proved to be the determining factor [Wheeler also picked Edwards to win in 2006, he finished 4th]. In preparation for making his selection, Wheeler analyzed early season race results and studied Sprint Cup Series testing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
His final decision came down to a choice between Edwards and Kyle Busch. Each year since 1994, Wheeler has also named a dark-horse selection who he thinks could pull off a surprise victory. This time he’s going with #20-Tony Stewart to fill that role. Good seats, in various price ranges, are still available for Saturday’s Sprint All-Star Race and include the 3 Doors Down pre-race concert. Tickets start at $40 and may be obtained by calling 1-800-455-FANS or online at www.lowesmotorspeedway.com.
