I was going to stay out of this, but I would like to say a couple things. I was a little concerned when I was asked about Shane being a teammate on the RW Silver Crown car. As a driver, I think we are even more critical on people throwing away a career we would love to have. I didnt know Shane at all. But I try not to judge people until I know them myself. And Shane is a great guy and we have quickly become friends. He was hired because of his talent and has helped our pavement program. Nobody helped him get the ride. He has talked pretty openly about his past. And the funny thing is, I had no idea about him having a disease until reading the article. He never once blamed the drugs on that. In the conversations we have had, I feel he has taken all the responsibility upon himself. I think that takes a hell of a person to do that when you could, and can, put the blame on an actual disease. There is not a more down to earth person in the pits than him or anyone that will work harder.
