This week Rules of Success welcomed former Professional NASCAR Driver and accident victim; Shane Hmiel. As the son of one of the original founders of Roush Racing and friend of Dale Earnheart Jr, Shane has been keeping involved in racing since a young child.
During his four-year NASCAR career, Shane appeared in seven Nextel Cup races, 83 Busch races, and 29 Truck Series races. His controversial stock car career was marred by accidents from his aggressive driving style.
As he was attempting to quality for a United States Auto Club Silver Crown race, his car slammed into the outside wall and rolled over several times. The force of the crash damaged the protective roll cage on Shane’s car. In an instant, he was paralyzed with severe head and spinal injuries. Doctors initially told Shane and his family that he had a 10 percent chance to live.
And if he lived, he would never walk or breathe on his own again.
Obviously – those doctors didn’t know Shane Hmiel.
We discuss with him his inspiring journey and what lessons his learned that could help Success Nation achieve their goals.
