James7xChamp3 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 http://www.nascar.com/2005/news/headlines/bg/04/06/shmiel_bruan/index.html Although I agree Hmiel was stupid for doing what he did for all the world to see and should've just owned up to his boneheaded move like Hamilton Jr. did, he should not (or anyone) have points taking away for non-racing incidents. Completely ridiculous! And to also penalize the tam owner 25 points!?!? Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a fan. This is embarrassing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Re: Hmiel and others penalized........ I don't really blame Hmiel that much for that wreck. It started way in front of him and was a chain reaction thing. The only thing he did wrong (in my opinion) was not letting off and completely spinning Jarrett. I like DJ, but his attitude reminds me lot of JJ's attitude. Never his fault. It was a racing thing and then Hmiel just made it a little worse. I don't think a trip to Hmiel's car was necessary. NASCAR "HAD" to fine Hmiel 25 points and $10,000. That is what they did to Junior for saying what he did at Dega. I don't agree with that at all. Flipping the bird to Jarrett had NOTHING to do with their finishing position. Why take points away for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Re: Hmiel and others penalized........ How many times have you heard the announcers during the race say that driver "A" was letting driver "B" no he was #1. That's been going on forever. I haven't actually seen what Shane did, maybe it was more flagrant or just visuable to the TV and that is why the penalty. Just another precedent that has been set. Almost getting out of hand on penalties, but at least it is still ok to finish the race with an illegal car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting into Jarrett and spinning him out, the red flag came out for a third time. Jarrett was mad and walked over to Shane's car. FX switched over to the in-car camera showing Shane. Dale stuck his head in Shane's car and started yelling and pointing. As soon as DJ left and the camera still on Shane, he shot him the bird. I think FX should be fined 25 races for invading in on a driver during a hostile situtation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Hmiel and others penalized........ You guys are to funny! I never seen the race live, so I know they won't show it again, but I seen the wreck and I don't know. Hmiel got into the back of him AND kept on going, he could've slowed down. IMO. Was the fining and points for the wrecking or for the bird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Hmiel and others penalized........ I read the nascar.com track smack (whatever). They commended Hamilton Jr. for being honest and lambasted Shane Hmiel for giving a finger. Give me a freakin break. a finger. ooooh! Those pansie anusses views (which is nascars's too) is why I'm fading away from the excitement (what use to be) of nascar. I wish the real Dale was back..........#3 All right. I'm done venting........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iabow Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Hmiel and others penalized........ When is the next nascar knitting class? Welcome to the nicer nascar, where if the guy behind you has a faster car you pull over. Just kidding but sometimes the point docking thing is overboard.

MrWiggely Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Hmiel and others penalized........ I think we need to get mr excitment back on track ! Call Jimmy Spencer over and toss him the bird, then we will see real action Wigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure drivers do it all the time inside their car, NASCAR shouldn't have had that camera view during a hostile situtation. How come when a driver does it at 180 MPH they don't get fined?

Guest BuckMaster058 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Hmiel and others penalized........ So now this is what nascar does with its free time fine ppl for gestures wasn't the thing with Jr. enough especially after the guy won the race and was excited and you get him right when he gets out of the car. Lets get real fining for gesturing and flipping the bird and heck Jarret didn't belong out on the track ne way his day was over. Grin it and bear it and get out on the track next week and show him what ya got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
