as Steve Hmiel heads to the track each weekend, [his son] Shane remains at the family’s Pleasant Garden [NC] home. He’s been there since shortly after series officials escorted him out of the garage at Dover five weeks ago. “What Shane is doing is he’s sitting at home on the couch and he has good days and bad,” Steve Hmiel says. “A good day is not sitting there with your heart broken. A bad day is thinking the world is coming to an end. There are no real good days.” Now, Shane Hmiel has nothing to do with NASCAR. He awaits word from officials on what course of treatment he’ll have to take to return. That could come within a few weeks.(News and Record)(7-9-2005)
