The NASCAR triple-header weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway started out full of promise for Shane Hmiel. Shane spent most of Friday practicing in all three of NASCAR’s major series, then qualifying the #15 Billy Ballew Motorsports truck on the outside of the front row, followed by qualifying the #08 WINFUEL Chevrolet in the 21st position for the Nextel Cup race. The night cap to Hmiel’s hectic day, the Craftsman Truck series race, ended in the first disappointment of the weekend as Shane’s fast truck was plagued by tire problems, resulting in a 32nd place finish.
