Shane Hmiel has proven to be one of the more controversial drivers in NASCAR, having had failed two separate drug tests. 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 Grand National 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. At Dover in 2005, he failed his second drug test and was escorted from the garage by several NASCAR officials. He is currently under indefinite suspension.
