Hmiel Ready to Pilot  TRIMSPA X32 Ride at Atlanta Motor Speedway 
Mooresville, NC  (October 28, 2004) – Many things have  changed in a short 
period of time for Braun Racing since last weekend’s race at  Memphis 
Motorsports Park. In an interview on “Totally NASCAR” earlier this week, it  was 
announced that Shane Hmiel will fill the seat of the TRIMSPA X32 Dodge left  open 
when former driver David Stremme moved to FitzBradshaw  Racing. 
“We were very excited  to announce our plans on Wednesday for the rest of 
2004 and 2005,” said Todd  Braun, owner of Braun Racing. “TRIMSPA has resigned 
with our team for the next  three years, an incredible commitment. We have 
Shane Hmiel signed through the  end of next season. While we had not originally 
planned to have Shane finish out  this season in the No. 32, we were anxious to 
get underway and FitzBradshaw  Racing was ready to have Stremme in their seat.”
 
Todd Lohse has  reassumed crew chief duties for Team TRIMSPA, and will bring 
Chassis BRO11 to  the track this weekend. It is the same chassis driven to a 
third-place finish at  Kansas Speedway just three weeks ago. Hmiel has not 
raced a Busch car at  Atlanta in two  years, but this weekend he will be pulling 
double duty in both the Busch Series  and Nextel Cup. 
“This is going to be a big weekend for me,”  said Hmiel, new driver of the 
TRIMSPA X32 Dodge. “It will be my first race  in the No. 32 TRIMSPA X32 Dodge. 
I would like to bring home a top finish for my  new sponsor and I think we can 
do that. I finished sixth there in the spring in  the NASCAR Craftsman Truck 
Series. This weekend I’ll be racing in both the  Busch and Cup Series and it 
should be fun. Driving the TRIMSPA car for the rest  of the season gives me a 
jump start on next year and is a great opportunity to  begin my new association 
with TRIMSPA and Braun Racing.”   
Team TRIMSPA will head  to the Atlanta Motor Speedway for its first race with 
Shane Hmiel this weekend  to compete in the Aaron’s 312 Saturday, October 
30th. The event will  be televised live at 1 p.m. eastern time on TNT and will 
broadcast nationally at  that same time on radio stations affiliated with PRN 
and XM Satellite Radio  Channel 144.
