Oh Man! I thought he was smarter than that

Hell I figured he was high on drugs when he tried to pass in the esses at Watkins Glen in a Busch Race a couple years ago. That idiotic move led to his release.

Does the name Shane hmiel mean anything to anyone?

Apparently not to him and :

Former Busch and Truck series driver Kevin Grubb was the last NASCAR driver suspended for violation of the substance abuse policy. He received an indefinite suspension -- his second -- from NASCAR last September following his second violation of the policy.

Shane Hmiel has a lifetime ban.

Man, that breaks my heart to read that, seriously.
Tyler is a fantastic kid, as a person, and I really can't believe this, really I can't. I've met him a few times and he seems like a VERY straight kid.
I really don't know whether to feel sorry or be mad at him.

I think be mad at him. These kids have such a future in front of them and the mess up like that. Guess the pressure just gets to them. Sometimes they just get with the wrong crowd.

Another fool trashes a career for the sake of a joint or so.

I've always been amazed the lure drugs have to some people. It's a shame.

Personally, I don't use pot but have many friends that do and I have no problem with that.

However, being under the influence of illegal narcotics while behind the wheel of an automobile is far from recreational.

I'm with Kat, trashing a promising and lucritive career for a few hoots is, IMHO, foolish.

Good thing they caught him before someone other than him payed for his lack of judgement.


Hopefully this is a wake-up call and he'll get his **** straightened out.
