i think humpy has done it all, i think he sold real estate for awhile, then was in charge of the nascar track in charlotte, i even think he has been responsible for some of the safety things that have been happening in the last couple years... bascially he is a nascar guy....

BUYAFOUNTAIN.COM If it makes you feel good to call someone ,that you don't even know a redneck then you can put me in that catagory as well ,, But Humpy Wheeler doesn't sale boats for a living ,,.,,.he buy's them.
If you represent the Fountain boat line ,, you might speak with Reggie about redneck Humpy Wheeler as I think he is on his fourth NEW 42 FOUNTAIN

To speak with knowledge is good

To speak out of your ass is not so tastefull is it

ps buyafountain if the North was so much better what are you doing in M.B.S.C

So what exactly makes him a redneck. Is it because he is involved in Nascar, or maybe because he lives in Charlotte. Or maybe you call him a redneck because he is a self made millionaire. You know what I bet there is a lot of rednecks on this board. I am far from a millionaire but I do enjoy Nascar, and I do live in Charlotte, and guess what I have a truck does that make me a redneck. What part about any of this makes being a redneck a bad thing?

Re: Who is Humpy Wheeler ?
 
I've met him. He treated me like he'd known me forever. I found him to be a man who went out of his way to be nice when he didn't have to. It was his track, his skybox (if you can stoop to call it that), his buffet, and his show - he didn't have to even acknowledge that I was there.

Course most rednecks may be too stupid to know they can act rude and self absorbed like most Northern scum (not to be confused with Northern gentlemen)...

redneck

A term derived from a hard-working southern farmers who have sun-burns on their necks from working all day long in the sun. Some people from the northern states in the USA use "Redneck" as an insult, but is really a compliment from one farmer and/or southerner to another. Most southerners are proud to be called a redneck, because anyone who calls them that has no idea it is a compliment. Rednecks are hard workers who put family and country first.

Excuse me...but did I call everyone from the south a redneck? NO!!!!! Why does everyone from the south get upset when someone says the word redneck? It's nuts. Also, the reality is that the crowds at a nascar event are a little different from those found at the Key West Poker Run, correct?

Everyone is getting very sensitive lately. Is it the holiday stress? It's like sitting at a bar and someone asks the question and you reply with a smart-ass response. Next thing you know we have a bar brawl going. Jeez.

Oh, come on...You have to make fun of a guy with the name "Humpy". It's like the kid named Francis in 3rd grade, even if he does turn out to be a plastic surgeon in Hollywood "improving" models all day for a living.

Ya - they are alot friendlier at a nascar race. But if your referin to the "class" of people at a nascar race, ticket prices are too expensive for the "average" fan. My Key West trip cost less than my Bristol trip every year and the partyin at Bristol is better. :drink:
