And the Least Surprising Headline is…

NASCAR suspends driver Hmiel for indefinite time:

Driver Shane Hmiel has been suspended from competition indefinitely by NASCAR after failing a third substance abuse test.

“Shane failed to fulfill the prescribed rehabilitation program scheduled by NASCAR,” NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Friday. “As a result, Shane has forfeited his opportunity to compete in any NASCAR-sanctioned events.”

NASCAR didn’t say which of the requirements Hmiel failed - medical and psychological reviews or frequent testing - but it matters little. He knew what the conditions were and disregarded them. Tough.

In the inimitable words of the late, great comedian George Burns, “Say good night Gracie.”

    Some people can’t handle “success” on any level. Just to have the opportunities he’s had, only to piss them away is sad, truly sad. Hopefully he’ll straighten out and find a direction in his life that satisfies himself, as opposed to what others expect of him. I get the feeling that a NASCAR carreer wasn’t necessarily his choice.
