The following is a statement released by Braun Racing, which fields the No. 32 Chevrolet formerly driven by Shane Hmiel in the NASCAR Busch Series:

"Braun Racing was saddened to learn that driver Shane Hmiel has been suspended indefinitely by NASCAR.  We support NASCAR's ongoing efforts to provide a safe environment for all competitors by their strong enforcement of rules and regulations.  We wish Shane the best as he goes forward from this point.

Additionally, we would like to thank two-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday for driving the #32 WINFUEL Chevrolet at Dover on short notice.

Braun Racing is grateful for the support from its marketing partners and looks forward to success the remainder of the 2005 season and beyond."
