Kyle Busch Busted for Speeding

[Doomsday101]

STATESVILLE, N.C. -- NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was clocked by a North Carolina sheriff's deputy going 128 mph in a 45 mph zone and was cited for careless and reckless driving and speeding, a law enforcement spokesman said Tuesday.

Iredell County Sheriff's Office Capt. Darren Campbell said a deputy stopped Busch's 2012 yellow Lexus sports car on a road between Troutman and Mooresville, where the 26-year-old driver lives. It's about 30 miles north of Charlotte.

Campbell said Busch was cited and released upon a written promise to appear in court.

In a statement issued late Tuesday, Busch acknowledged what happened.

"I was test-driving a new sports car and I got carried away," Busch said. "I went beyond the speed I should have been going on a public road. I apologize to the public, my fans, sponsors, and race teams for my lack of judgment."

I remember years ago Richard Petty had a woman driving slow in the fast lane and bumped her car from behind to get her to change lanes. lol

See, I told you guys speed limits were useless.

Great story about The King, by the way. I love that sort of stuff. If you guys want a really good read, check out "Daytona: Birth Place of Speed" by Ed Hinton. Outstanding.
