NASCAR Busch Series driver Shane Hmiel, who was suspended for nearly four months at the end of the 2003 season for a violation of NASCAR’s substance abuse policy, has been indefinitely suspended for a second violation of the policy, NASCAR confirmed Thursday. NASCAR officials had Hmiel, 24, tested following Saturday’s night Busch race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C., sources confirmed. Thursday afternoon shortly before the second practice at Dover International Speedway, Hmiel and his Busch team owner, Todd Braun, were escorted from the Busch garage by series director Joe Balash and Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president of competition, among others. Hmiel was second fastest in Thursday’s first practice session. His car sat in the garage during the second practice, but late in the session Craftsman Truck series driver Ron Hornaday took the car out on the track. Hmiel is currently 14th in series points, with three top-five and four top-10 finishes this season. After his first violation, Hmiel was able to reapply for his license to compete in NASCAR-sanctioned events after meeting conditions for his reinstatement from the suspension.

Behind the wheel he had it. Attitude doesn't determine talent.

Attudite only means stuff to sponsors and fans. It doesn't affect how you turn the wheel or get back on the gas.

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)

I think it's safe to say he'll only get one second chance and he just blew it.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR on Thursday suspended driver Shane Hmiel indefinitely for violation of the sanctioning body's substance abuse policy. It is the second time in less than two years that Hmiel has been suspended for substance abuse.

Hmiel was in Dover, Del., preparing for Saturday's MBNA RacePoints 200. He was replaced by Ron Hornaday in the No. 32 Chevrolet fielded by Braun Racing.

NASCAR officials said that Hmiel tested positive for banned substances after Busch Series qualifying at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C. The positive test violates 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, who is 14th in the Busch Series point standings, was suspended indefinitely in September 2003 for the same offenses.

To emphasize the importance of a substance-free sport, NASCAR, in 1988, created its Substance Abuse Policy. The policy provides for testing under reasonable suspicion, an approach that is well suited to NASCAR because of the close and continuing contact between officials and competitors.

As a result of his positive test in 2003, Hmiel was released by his Busch Series team, Innovative Motorsports. Ironically, it also was at Dover where Hmiel was unseated.

Hmiel was cleared to return to competition by NASCAR in February 2004. His reinstatement carried several conditions, among them random drug testing at NASCAR's discretion.

No, his attitude does affect his driving. You can have an I-better-get-outta-the-way attitude like say, Shelmerdine; you can have a smart and passive-aggressive attitude like Mark Martin or Bobby Labonte; you can have a more aggressive but calculated attitude like Dale Jr. or Jeff Gordon; or you can have a head-up-your-ass aggressive attitude like Hmiel where you pass by punting.
