If YOU had gotten the same FIRST chance he had YOU would have taken advantage of it and not blown it, he failed, TWICE and as far as you saying he has gotten it together, do you really know? Is he being tested now? Is he still getting help? I think he deserved a chance, he had it, he got a second chance, he failed that also, should he be getting a third chance while drivers who truly deserve a chance never get it? Sorry but I think most people agree with me and just are afraid to get flamed for speaking out... we know his situation, he put himself there by doing HARD drugs, ILLEGAL drugs, don't make him into a hero because he's not, he has hurt ALL of racing by his actions, it's not been that long ago either to just write off what he did because right now at this moment he is "better". If he is struggling then it is ONLY because he killed off a golden chance, and again he had TWO chances at it.

I think that is the problem wrong with the world is everyone believes what the newspapers say and don't know what is going on in that person's life at that time or even now for that matter. I'm a person who believes the past is the past and you shouldn't worry about what other ppls problems are. I'm sure that Shane is not the only person in the world today that has had this problem and won't be the last. If he is getting tested or not it shouldn't be any of our business. It's his life and from talking with him personally. He's a great guy and racer. I'm sure he is tired of having to keep defending himself to ppl like us.
Its also hard to believe that one person could hurt ALL of racing. So what if Daddy helped him. There are alot of dad's out there that would do the same thing. Obviously his daddy didn't drive the cars though so he most have had the talent to make it. Life is about mistakes and learning from them. There are people out there that take more then twice to learn there lessons. Just give the guy a chance because more anything I think he needs the support of our racing community not the down talks of the past. Keep gassin on it Shane!!!!!
