Would you want to see him driving in the IICS?
No I don't think it would be good to have Shane Hmiel driving in IICS. Whether or not he is free of his substance issues he should never drive in IICS. He has a lifetime ban in NASCAR and the image of Indycar accepting him as a driver would be a nightmare for any image building.
Indycar has enough of a struggle to improve it's public image without an addict driving one of it's cars.
No I don't. Although if it was between him and Milka, I might have to side with him.
Yes, Shane Hmiel made some mistakes, but as far as I know all came out publicly is that he was smoking pot... big deal.
If Barry Bonds gets to keep the home run record despite the fact we all know he was taking steroids and HGH then I say give the pot head a second chance, if he can find sponsorship.
He also tested positive for cocaine.
Should the wnba let Marion jones play?
I don't think PED's are really comparable to cocaine and marijuana. The only things marijuana enchances are crappy jam bands.
Cocaine is a PED and illigal if used at a match. Marijuana and Cocaine reduce the ability to control a car, and therefore should not be tolerated.Quote:

As much as I think it would be nice to see a Nascar driver give a Dallara a try, I want it to be one I know will not kill one of our drivers due to a DUI. He can run around in a stock car an bump wheels with guys while he is high and spin a guy around, but the potential for disaster is not all that great. In an Indycar, if he gets a little too close whether he is high or not, he could well die.
His drug history and his lack of experience in an Izod Indycar tell me he should stay away.
I'm not fully up to date on this story as I don't really follow Nascar all that much, but did he not admit to driving high a few times?Quote:
