Humpy Wheeler Helping Unemployed NASCAR Workers Stay on Their Feet

Drives like AJ Allmendinger, Scott Riggs, JJ Yeley, Scott Wimmer, Bobby Hamilton,Jr., Kyle Petty, and this year's Rookie of the Year, Regan Smith, are all looking for jobs next season. "In the '70s and '80s, I think it was even worse economically, but teams were much smaller then," said former president and general manager of the Lowe's Motor Speedway Humpy Wheeler. "Some teams back then were letting go 50 percent or more of crew members. But that was only five or six people. Today cut backs might be less percentage of the team, but could equal dozens per organization." Sitting back and doing nothing has never been Wheeler's style. He has partnered with the North Carolina Motorsports Association to set up the Motorsports Employment Taskforce in an effort to help the growing number of displaced workers stay in the NASCAR field.
