Biography
  • Shane Hmiel was a NASCAR driver who drove the #32 Win Fuel / TrimSpa Chevrolet for Braun Racing until he was suspended for failing a drug test. Shane Hmiel has proven to be one of the more controversial drivers in NASCAR, having had failed two separate drug tests and openly insulting other drivers in interviews. In 2003, he was suspended for failing a drug test indefinitely but was reinstated in 2004, provided he comply with random drug tests. In his return to the Busch Series, he got into a very heated incident with Dale Jarrett during the Sharpie 250 at Bristol. When Jarrett leaned into Hmiel's window to complain about being spun out by Hmiel, he made an obscene gesture toward Jarrett that was captured on national television. Hmiel was fined $10,000 USD and docked 25 points in the standings for the incident. This and earlier incidents caused many fans to view Hmiel as a "disrespectful punk" as quoted by more than one veteran driver. His NASCAR career was seemingly ended at Dover in 2005, when he failed his second drug test and was escorted from the garage by several NASCAR officials. After failing a third drug test in early 2006, Hmiel was placed under a lifetime ban from NASCAR. Hmiel is currently attempting a comeback in USAC Racing. Win Fuel Commercials Shane Hmiel was in a series of commercials with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. during the early part of the 2005 NASCAR season that dealt with his title sponsor WINFUEL multivitamins. Once Hmiel was suspended for failing a drug test and was placed under the lifetime ban from NASCAR, the commercials were scrapped. External links * Shane Hmiel driver page on Racing One
