Humpy Wheeler, president of Lowes Motor Speedway for the past 33 years, will be honored during the Concord Christmas Parade.  WHAT!  Humpy isn't even from Concord.  It used to be local legends that made up the Grand Marshal.  Truly respected and active citizens from around town.  Ones you see eating breakfast with the boys at the same joint every Wednesday morning or eating church hot dogs on Fridays for lunch.  This feels like just another ass kiss from Concord to the Speedway.  We already added the Bruton Smith Blvd name to the already named Speedway Blvd. and Concord Mills Blvd.  3 names for one street just to please an ego, come on.  And now one of our towns most secretly treasured spots is being outsourced to a speedway big wig, no doubt because Concord and Bruton are at odds with their payment schedule to Bruton and the economy making payment terms that much hard to figure out.  So lets be sure and keep Brutons friends happy so he doesn't punish us right?  How about Donnie Whittington for grand marshal who is finishing up 50 years of coaching football at the Boys and Girls Club or Jeff Gordon for lending his name and money to build a Children's Hospital?
