OK, it's official, Shane Hmiel is a horses ass! Wrecks 2 cars and says he don't care. :mad: Jackass!
 
and more:

During the red flag, Jarrett, visibly upset, exited his car and walked half the front stretch to confront Hmiel. TV replays showed Jarrett pointing his finger at Hmiel's face and Hmiel directing an obscene gesture toward Jarrett.

NASCAR officials plan to review the footage and announce any possible penalties later this week.

"I'd like to know where he thought he was going," Jarrett said. "We were already three-wide because Jon Wood got loose and I got underneath him.

"It's only a half-mile track, so where does he think he was going?"

Hmiel was unapologetic after the race. Jarrett "threatened he would get me and all that stuff. He better hurry up because he ain't got much longer."

I'll reserve judgement until I see the footage.

Well I watched the race and saw the interview and I decided to send this e-mail to both Trim Spa and Win Fuel;


To Whom it may Concern;

I've stuck behind Shane through his earlier troubles, but he just keeps pushing over the limit, todays antics were just the final straw.
He has potential to be a good race car driver but he continually over drives his equipment. Do you really think he has such bad luck as to have all those tires blow out and wrecking his car? No it's not bad luck at all, it's a case of an immature brat thinking he's far more talanted than he is over driving the equipment wearing out his tires and wrecking and not finishing races. Sure he's had a couple good outings, but his equipment has been good enough to finish up front every week if he didn't wreck it.
The final staw was not only deliberatly taking out a car as he did to Dale Jarret but knocking every car he passed to get by. "IF" he had 1/4 the talent he THINKS he has, he'd be able to pass without wrecking or nearly wrecking everyone. Then to stand in front of the camaras and lie and whine the way he did, showing total disrespect for for other racers and NASCAR Champions as he showed today is just plain sickening. He has shown what an arrogant little punk he is. And in my opinion makes a very poor representative for any company. I don't think that he really represents the image a company such as yours would like to project to potential customers.
As his sponsor,( his financial life line to pursue his dream of racing in the big leagues )I would suggest you teach him about proper representation of a major company. There are no excuses for his actions or his running his mouth so stupiedly as he did today.
 
Shane needs to be set down for his actions and words today.
His obvious lack of respect for other drivers and past champions,
is a disgrace!!! We have the race on TIVO and watched the action several
times in disbelief! Then we watched as an angry DJ walked to Shane's car and told him how he(DJ) felt. Shane was sooooooooooo manly, he waited till DJ turned to walk away before giving him the finger. :mad:
Then, to add insult to what was already a hostile situation, he LIED about
the whole thing during his interview. I couldn'tr believe my ears!!!!!!!
So, we re-played that over a couple times too.
I no longer support Shane!!!!!!! :mad:

SHAME ON SHANE!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I am tellin ya, he picked the WRONG man to screw with, DJ will mess him up! Someone is going to teach that boy a lesson!
 
I watched the race as well and saw the whole thing. I gotta agree, Shane is a real butthole. His arogance is one thing, but his disrespect for a former Cup Champ just won't go unnoticed. He reminded me of a very spoiled rotten child out there today.
 
Hey johnny sauter has a brother now, "The Bonehead Brothers". Shane better get fined for flippin the bird, If mike wallace can get fined for NASCAR reading lips then shane better get fined, Man he is pretty brave for flippin DJ off while his back was turned.
 
Doesn't Shane drive trucks? There are couple of drivers in that series who know how to take someone out during a race!! :D Where's my buddy Todd Bodine when I need him? :p
 
Yeah I finally watched that. I mean gee. I suppose if you looked just a couple cars ahead and see them going three wide you would figure that those behind would not be at full throttle. I just love how Shane pretty much matted it and kept it to the floor while he turned him around. Watching Inside Nextel Cup allow me to see what everyone was talking about. So sad. Man I was beginning to support Shane. Then I thought back to when him and Mike Wallace got into it and now I realize that he has not changed. What a tough guy.
 
I watched the race and was appalled at Shane's behavior. That hit was obviously wrong, and he didn't even lift after and that's when he spun DJ out. Obviously the Nascar Officials know enough about DJ to allow him to walk to Shame's car and that he would not be violent.
Shame is my new name for Hmiel the coward.
 
Does anyone have a link to a clip of the wreck? I was at school and didn't get it taped.
 
Sure don't ax, but do you get SPEED? INNC is on again right now and they show it at the end.
 
no, but I saw a little clip of it on the news. it just showed the in car view of the accident with nothing leading up to it, so from that news perspective, it looked like something he couldn't avoid. But from the way everyone is talking, there were some issues going on before all of it that show it was something he could avoid. Maybe my dad recorded it. I'll ask him tomorrow, i can probably see it this weekend. Jarrett was pissed though.
I will say this, though not in defense of Shane, its one thing to call a man a coward for flipping someone the bird after they turn away, but how tough is a guy who comes and talks smack to someone strapped into a race car he can't get out of...I seem to remember Jimmy Spencer doing this Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart doing this to Brian Vickers. Of course, it speaks volums of DJ that this confrontation didn't end the way the others did. But hey, there wasn't much Shane could do in the way of making amends while strapped into his car. Jarrett didn't give him a chance to apologize either, so what would you have done in the same situation?
 
he is a punk i won't take that away from him, however i can think of more than one "young gun" that really ain't much better when it comes to respect.

must be the way they are raised thinkin they are better than others or something :bigfight:

I think it's going to get worse. The old guard worked their asses off sleeping on floors any where the could find someone to let them in. Sweeping floors to get in at the right moment. Now the future is going to be rich snotty kids, because racing is getting more and more expensive, even at the local tracks.

'bout time someone did something to liven up an otherwise boring start to the season and the media was running out of adjectives for Edwards anyway. Can't wait 'til next weekend!

Both are spoiled brats. Just wth do they think they are. They don't belong in Nascar.
 
Shane Hmiel is a jack-ass. He wouldn't even be in a race car if Steve wasn't his dad. The kid has no talent and he's never gonna make it in Cup.
 
Well, I mean the kid has to have talent. However judgement is a different subject.
 
Playing the bump-and-run is SOP at Bristol. It was being used by almost everyone on the track at one time or another.

My problem with Shane was his nasty comment about DJ after the race.

Those were my thoughts exactly - the wreck was asinine and shouldn't have happened, but hey it's Bristol, that's what people go there to see.

It was Hmiel's mouth that was way out of line. I don't care really if Nascar does anything about it, I hope his sponsors kick him to the curb. I'd hope his race team comes down on his butt pretty hard, too.
 
Yeah, nasty comment after the race, but I wonder what DJ said to him in the car.
 
Sauter was penalized for rough driving. Truex Jr. was penalized for rough driving. Shane wasn't. So in NASCAR's eyes he did nothing wrong when he turned DJ. As to matting it, maybe that was to get by and not get caught up in DJ's misfortune.
Sometimes you have to look at the incident thru an outsider's eyes and not assign blame based on who was involved but on the facts of what happened.
If this had been Lil'E turning some back rider few of you would have said anything. And, those that did would have been shouted down.
Either its right or its wrong. It should never be based on who...
 
I suppose for the same reason that anytime anything has to do with Nascar, an Earnhardt face is shown.

Why does everything come back to an Earnhardt? I love it...

And, because he seems to get a free pass regardless of what he does or who he does it to.
Thankfully, this season he has been a non-issue. It will be interesting to see what NASCAR comes up with if it looks like he may miss the C4C. :eek:

Seriously, I'm with fergy on this one! This thread had NOTHING to do with an Earnhardt, and yet a reference always has to be made. :eek:

Really? Name one. Just one....

Just one...OK...This one still sticks out even tho its from 2003.
And its from nascar.com so the source shouldn't be questioned...too much

The flashpoint came on lap 186, when Earnhardt rode the low groove through Turn 3. Kenseth, the leader at the time, was working high with Jimmie Johnson on his bumper. Running third, Earnhardt dove inside, and his left tires clearly went over the yellow line on the track apron -- NASCAR's out-of-bounds designation at Talladega and Daytona. He shot past Kenseth into the lead and ignited NASCAR's third post-race controversy in two weeks.

"When the [expletive]'s (my comment here- I guess this could count as 2 since he wasn't fined) on, you ain't really thinking about the yellow line," Earnhardt said of the incident. He insisted he didn't stray below it on purpose. He was watching Kenseth instead and was worried that Kenseth might sweep down from the high groove to block him.

"I was trying not to run into him if he came down and crossed over [in front of] my car," Earnhardt said of Kenseth. "So it was more not to cause a wreck than anything. But I didn't necessarily intentionally intend to end up there."

NASCAR exonerated Earnhardt, claiming that he'd already passed Kenseth by the time his wheels crossed the yellow line, and thus didn't improve his position. He did, however, improve his status in the Cup point standings. He's now second behind Kenseth heading into Martinsville.
 
What part of
NASCAR exonerated Earnhardt, claiming that he'd already passed Kenseth by the time his wheels crossed the yellow line, and thus didn't improve his position.
don't you understand.


And going all the way back to 2003...wow, With all the conspiracies with Jr and NASCAR, you can do better than that.....I mean, Jr is NASCAR's Golden Child...
 
You are right he is/was their Golden Child. You said 1. You didn't say when and I had that one handy. And, the expletive deleted should earn me bonus points. (;))
The fact that he was exonerated by NASCAR is what lead to his favorable treatment. Thus the controversy as to whether or not he got different treatment than other drivers. His free pass, if you will. Other drivers in similar situations had been penalized.
