Here are a couple of drivers that after the hammer fell the last time, for them, I wouldn't have given you a nickel for what was left of their racing careers. But one (Hmeil) chose to seek the help, in the pits, from some people with unquestionable character. The inverse of guilt by association. The other (Fike) chose to offer up information that couldn't possibly be considered helpful to him. Perhaps self-inflicting a "rock bottom" on himself that NASCAR and the ******** justice system didn't.

The jury's still out on both, but each has chosen a first step that wasn't the easiest path. Each chose fessing up and trying to prove themselves over the typical "It's a disease, I'm a victim" mentality. I wish both success.
