"Hey Danica, Need A Ride?"
Shane Hmiel, driver of the 32# WINFUEL Chevrolet, (you know the kid that got spanked for flipping off Dale Jarrett a while ago) practiced his Busch car Thursday at Dover, posting the second-fastest speed in the first practice, but was escorted out of the garage by several NASCAR officials before the second session.
Here's why.....
He got busted for violating the substance-abuse policy! "Section 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing) and Section 12-4-E (violation of the NASCAR substance abuse policy) of the 2005 NASCAR rule book."
So what was it?.... Pot?...Coke?...Ludes?...Vicodin?...Flintstone's Vitamin?
What ever it was....he's gone! This is his second suspension for drug-abuse. He got launched for 4 months in the 2003 Busch season. This is ugly....
His sponsor WINFUEL (headquarted in N.J), consider Dover their home track.So you have to expect, they emptied the office, to come watch their boy race! Now they have to pull all the TV commercials, print ads, and merchandising with his face on it....That's big money, kids!
I was lucky enough, to travel the circuit in the very early 80's, and there WAS a few of the young guns, (no, I'm NOT going to name them, 'cause I don't roll like that...<---street talk) takin' a toke now 'n then, even one or two, that would snort a start and finish line in between races...the reponsibility of drivers today is huge..what the hell was he thinkin'?
Hey, my hands aren't clean...it was, shall we say...a sign of the times. Things were different then, there wasn't alot of multi-million dollar sponsors, televised races (especially for the Busch series), well, you get the idea!
You've got to feel bad for the team, his sponsors, and especially his Dad. Steve Hmiel, is the the technology director at Dale Earnhardt Inc. who took over as Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s interim crew chief last week. Like he doesn't have enough crap to deal with already....
This kid just FUBAR'd his career...so who's going to drive the ride now?
Hey Danica, what are doing this Saturday around 1pm?
