Days after announcing Stacker 2 as Kenny Wallace’s backer, Thomas Pacconi Classics has come on board to sponsor Shane Hmiel in his run for rookie of the year honors in the #37 Innovative Motorsports Chevy. The company’s line runs the gamut, from furnishings, antique electronics and home and garden items to Christmas ornaments and gift ideas for several different occasions. Hmiel is the son of Dale Earnhardt Inc. Technical Director Steve Hmiel. He practiced Wallace’s car at Memphis, and then finished second in an ARCA race at Atlanta.(Winston Cup Scene – need sub to read)(1-17-2002)
