Humpy to make pick for The Winston UPDATE – picks Jeff Gordon: Utilizing the Theory that the Hungriest Lion Gets the Steak, “Humpy” Wheeler Will Predict The Winston Winner. During the past 14 years, H.A. “Humpy” Wheeler, president and general manager of Lowe’s Motor Speedway, has been correct nine times in his annual “Pick The Winston Winner” selection. Once again this year, Wheeler has spent several hours perusing the Winston Cup garage areas and is prepared, with the help of a little magic, to reveal who will win this year’s running of NASCAR’s annual all-star event. He will reveal his prediction in gala fashion Tuesday afternoon, May 14, in the Queen Room (5th Floor) of The Speedway Club at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.(LMS PR)(5-10/14-2002) UPDATE: H.A. “Humpy” Wheeler, president and general manager of Lowe’s Motor Speedway, believes Gordon’s race win drought will end when NASCAR’s annual all-star event, The Winston, takes the checkered flag Saturday night, May 18, at the 1.5-mile superspeedway. Wheeler tabbed Gordon as his selection to win the event during his annual “Pick The Winston Winner” press conference today at The Speedway Club. If Wheeler’s prediction holds true to form, Gordon, driver of the #24 DuPont Chevrolet, will become the only four-time winner of The Winston and be the first driver to score back-to-back victories since the late Davey Allison won the all-star event in 1991 and 1992.(LMS PR)(5-14-2002)
