Can't believe it.....the kid has talent and he's totally thrown it away. Can't see him being allowed to drive again after this. Maybe there's a future in crapwagons?

Hmiel kicked out of Dover? UPDATE - OFFICIAL, fails drug test: Been told from folks at the track that #32-Shane Hmiel was was escorted out Dover International Speedway after a privite meeting in the NASCAR trailer. Supposedly all reports have Hmeil failing a randon dug test. Hmeil was 2nd fastest in practice today. Being told Ron Hornaday will drive the #32 car at Dover.
NASCAR STATEMENT: NASCAR has suspended driver Shane Hmiel indefinitely, for violation of the sanctioning body's substance abuse policy. NASCAR officials said Thursday that Hmiel was tested for banned substances after NASCAR Busch Series qualifying at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C. The results of the test were positive, violating 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. Hmiel is 14th in the current NASCAR Busch Series driver championship standings.(NASCAR PR)(6-2-2005)
Permanent Ban for Hmiel? [Hmiel] who has served as a lightning rod for criticism and controversy has been suspended indefinitely, and it's uncertain whether he will be allowed back again. Hmiel followed a NASCAR-mandated recovery program and was reinstated five months after a positive test following a Busch Series race on Sept. 5, 2003 at Richmond International Raceway. That might not be an option after Hmiel entered uncertain ground by testing positive twice. NASCAR hasn't decided yet how another appeal would be handled. A decision could come Monday, and a NASCAR source said a permanent ban was being considered.(Richmond Times Dispatch)(6-4-2005)

Yeah, kind of interesting that he put it in the wall early in that race. The hoops he's going to have to go through to ever drive again competitively will be numerous.

Daytona Beach, FL (Sports Network) - Driver Shane Hmiel has been suspended from NASCAR competition until at least 2007.

NASCAR officials had suspended Hmiel indefinitely on June 3 after he failed a substance-abuse test. It marked his second offense, as he was also suspended in September of 2003 for the same violation.

Hmiel then completed a prescribed rehabilitation program and was reinstated by NASCAR in February, 2004.

Hmiel's possible reinstatement in 2007 will be based on how well he performs in a rehab program that will consist of medical and psychological reviews, as well as frequent testing.

Let's hope he gets better treatment for his "dope" problems than NASCAR gave Tim Richmond.

Lets hope they nail him to the wall worse than they did tim richmond(who was not an addict and didnt deserve one bit of what he got). Tim was a victim he wasnt a drug addict but got treated like one, horribly i might add... This kid got busted once already, he has the job most of us would kill for (if it were F1 or champ car but whatever) and he screws up twice... No thanks let him rot off the track.....

I love how Fox and Nascar have censored this story. No threads are allowed on this story on Speed TV's bulletin boards and Windtunnel hasn't taken one call or had one word to say about it. And conveniently, Despain was on vacation the weekend the story broke.

I was gonna drive my stock car until I got high.
I coulda just drank some moonshine, but I got high.
Now I'm sittin' on my @ss and I know why... cause I got high.
Because I got high. Because I got high.

I messed up my entire life because I got high.
I lost my sponsor and ride because I got high.
Now I'm on Lil E's couch and I know why... cause I got high.
Because I got high. Because I got high.

It's like I don't care 'bout nuthin', man. Roll another blunt...
