Shane Hmiel about returning to Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“I’m really looking forward to going to Las Vegas this weekend. It was 
awesome to finally break through and get my first Craftsman Truck series win there 
last year. I really feel like we have a good shot to put our WINFUEL Chevrolet 
in victory lane there in Vegas. Hopefully I can also get my first Busch 
Series win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The car that we are taking is the same one 
that I finished 3rd in at California a few weeks ago, so it is definitely one 
of my favorites. We came so close to pulling off the win in California, and it 
makes me really excited going into Vegas.�??

Hmiel about chasing after his first NASCAR Busch Series win:
“I know that my WINFUEL team gives me a real shot at winning each week. It’s 
just a matter of time until all of our hard work pays off and we get our 
first win. My sponsor WINFUEL is ALL about Winning, and so is this Braun Racing 
team. Our ultimate goal for this season is to win the Busch Series championship, 
but we also want to win a lot of races along the way. This is the first time 
in my career that I have had all of the pieces in place to really make my mark.
