dogdoc Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again funny that Nascar has stiffer policies than Major League Baseball. That's too bad that such a talented driver can't kick the habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James7xChamp3 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again That's sad. You'd think the "high" of doing what he did for a living would be enough....guess not. Really feel for his Dad and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again You know, I was just thinking about him today and his first violation as I was reading a little story about him in the new Racing Fan magazine, it was the story about him giving Dale Jarret the bird earlier in the year. I remember thinking to myself that he must be back to smoking weed to ever have the cajones to flip off Dale Jarrett. Looks like he won't be flipping many more birds at anyone any time soon. There's no room for drugs in NASCAR, NASCAR I feel was fair in giving him another shot, this punk doesn't deserve to be in another NASCAR race, he lost that priviledge IMHO.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again I say good ridenings!! If you want to use drugs you have no business being in a 3400 lb. stock car at 190 MPH!!! If you ever watch NBS 24/7 the kid also needs his mouth washed out with soap. My take is 2 strikes your out!! Don't give him a 3rd try as who knows what could happen, don't need others hurt because this guy wants to fly around like a kite. For Pete's sake your a NASCAR driver, that in itself who make you feel like your walking on clouds all day long!! I just don't get it, money, fame, driving a race car for a living......and now you need drugs to get by.....what a loser!!! Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again I don't care much for the kid personally. Hid attitude rubs me the wrong way. Guess he was right about DJ needing to hurry up with his retaliation. He didn't get much time to do it! There may be a few more cars left at the end of the race now that he won't be in it!

MUDRUNNER Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again That's what he gets.He had a chance of a life time and a pretty good future ahead of him.He could've made the cup series in another couple of years.Wander what he'll do now.A lot of drivers would do just about anything to get a good busch ride.He had one and blew it.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again If someone gives this kid a chance good luck landing a sponsor!! Drivers reflect back on their sponsors and this kid is just bad for the sport. Your dealing with cars going at high rates of speed with 7 guys servicing it within 14 seconds, you don't need a driver on something in this sport, someone could get hurt!! I can't see him getting another chance, like mudrunner said, he blew it!! Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again Maybe it's something in WinFuel? Guess he won't be in the #15 anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again How much money do you think WinFuel has invested in the kid? I would guess they would take his commercials off the air now. How embarressing for both him and his sponsor.I would be very surprised if was given a 3rd chance after such a short time between offenses. Some people never learn!

AdvantageTimberLou Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again Even if he wasn't on drugs, which he is, to me his arrogance and attitude just didn't impress me. I heard some fans were comparing him to Dale Sr. Dale Sr. would never talk like that when cameras were on let alone when they were off. This is a loud mouth kid that could have went somewhere. Its time to give another kid a chance, we have a young guy in our area that would be perfect. He dominated in Legends and is now in the ASA Late Model Series. Clean cut farm boy with good ethics, a sponsor's dream if you ask me, he deserve a shot at the big time. Hmiels got 2 strikes and to me is out!!

Addct2hntng Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again this whole thing just makes me SICK!!!!!!!!!!! this punk has a dream life and throws it away to smoke weed if I was his dad I would be out behind the shed whooping his arse everyday I looked at him !!! 1 time well everyone makes mistakes a 2nd time is like spitting in the face of everyone that supported him ...

slugshooter Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again I'm assuming marijuana, cause thats a young kids drug sorta. All NASCAR.com says is he violated the substance abuse policy by detecting banned substance during the test. If anyone knows what the banned substances are in NASCAR then maybe we would have an idea, but it could be anything from pot, to coke, to painkillers or steroids. But with the actions NASCAR is taking I assume it would have to some sort of mind altering drug for them to take the actions they have. I don't have anything against pot per se, but there are just some professions that noone needs to be using any sort of drug. I just can't get past what he was thinking, he knew he was subject to random testing on account of his previous infraction, there's no telling how long he has been using since the first time. He was probably just lucky in not getting caught sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again [ QUOTE ] Guess he won't be in the #15 anytime soon. [/ QUOTE ] I'm pretty happy about that!!! He was way too cocky for that ride. He has really never done much of anything to prove himself. This year he has shown that he can drive the car hard, untill it breaks, or he wrecks it. He has gotten where he is because of his father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyderpancake Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again I say good job NASCAR! I admit, Shane has talent, but he is nothing but a spoiled rich kid who constantly runs his mouth. I have the feeling that not many of his fellow racers will miss him a whole lot...

RTF Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Re: Hmiel in trouble again I say until we know all the facts we need to stop assuming. You all are ready to drop the ax on this kid and we dont know what was in him and how it got there. like Dale JR said the other, that he is not turning his back on Shane just yet.
