I saw a link a post by Jeff Gluck on Twitter that said Kyle was cited for careless and wreckless driving today, he was clocked at 128 in a 45.

If this is true, he needs his licences pulled and needs to sit out a few races, He could of killed himself or someone else.

Why should he sit out races for something that has absolutely nothing to do with Nascar?
I say they should treat them the same way they would me or you. If I was clocked 129 in a 45 I would not be cited, I would've been arrested.
 
•Kyle Busch cited for speeding: NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was cited for careless and reckless driving after deputies said they clocked him doing nearly three times the posted speed limit Tuesday afternoon. Iredell County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Chris Stone, a member of the Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) team, stopped a yellow Lexus sports car after he clocked it doing 128 mph in a 45 mph zone on Perth Road near Judas Road, between Troutman and Mooresville, NC. Busch, driver of the #18 M&Ms/Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry, was cited for careless and reckless driving and speeding, said Lt. Troy Miller, who supervises the ACE team for the sheriff's office.()(5-24-2011)

I wonder if he could argue that because he's a professional racecar driver, it wasn't really "wreckless" :D

Beside the point. If you or I did that, we wouldn't be driving for years and would probably be in jail. But since Kyle's a celebrity, he'll pay a $100 fine and it'll be over with.
 
Most places you loose your license for 3 months and a fine, he screwed up and I'm sure he will get a tongue lashing from sponsors and from Gibbs.

Built me a couple of hot rods when I was 16 to about 25. At one stretch I got 41 tickets in a 7 month period; mostly for speeding but some were drag racing, 4 were for wreckless driving, two for driving "left of center of roadway", one for driving on the sidewalk, two were for driving on a revoked license :D
At the time, I didn't have the money for the fines so I figured it was best to not even show up. First they suspended my license, then they revoked it and then they cancelled it. California wouldn't give me a license for 7 years. When the FTA warrants got up to 12 they knocked on the door and tossed me in the pokey for a spell. Mom about killed me.

Look at the map. It was a nice twistie, after going around in circles all day he just couldn't help himself. I want to know what kind of car he was driving tho. This road reminds me of the roads my car club used to do fun runs on in the Hill Country in central Texas. My first fun run we were doing triple digits for over 100 miles, and it was raining. It was the most scary and the most exciting driving I had ever done up to that time.

Na, just something like a 3 month suspension and a fat ass ticket, probably some community work thrown in. Depends on how many other tickets he's had in the last so many years. Either way what he did was pretty G damn stupid. You would think that a professional race car driver would have more safety sense than that plus they get to get that crap out of their system every week. effing idiot.


And no, NASCAR should have nothing to do with it. You get a ticket do you think your employer gives a **** as long as you show up for work or aren't in a company vehicle? No, they don't and you guys need to stop being retarded just because its Kyle. For the love of God if the guy farts in an elevator you guys want him suspended for a few races.

All I can find is that it was a yellow Lexus. ESPN states: "The car was a manufacturer vehicle and not registered in anyone's name." I wonder if its the new Lexus LFA thats coming out.

Maybe he was just trying to get away from a tornado? Harvick? ;) :beerbang:
 
Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Chris Stone, who cited Busch, told the newspaper he asked the driver why he was going so fast.

“He said, ‘This is just a toy,’ ” Stone told the paper. He said Busch told him the car was on loan from the manufacturer.

According to the newspaper, officers said it is standard procedure to cite and release a person rather than arresting them and requiring a bond to be posted.

“A bond is an assurance you will appear in court,” Sgt. Darren Campbell said. “He had ID and lived in the area so there was no need for a bond.”

There is a chance Busch could lose his driver's license.

According to the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles handbook, a driver's license "will be revoked for at least 30 days" if a driver is convicted of driving any vehicle more than 15 mph over the speed limit. A valid state-issued driver’s license is not required to compete in NASCAR

Shoulda coulda woulda. The point is that no harm was done accept to Kyle's pocketbook.

You DO realize that racers are used to driving at high speeds and staying on top of what's going on? This wasn't your average inexperienced teenager speeding down the road. While he could have hit something or someone, it's WAY less likely to happen with someone with his experience.

SHOULD he have been doing it? Probably not. Of course, maybe some of you have never done anything you shouldn't have. (The way he is being condemned it seems that way.) I know I have, including driving WAY to fast for the conditions.

Someone could of pulled out in front of him, a deer or dog ran out....it dont matter how much experience you have, the open road is not for speeds this high no matter what you do for a living

Could've blown a tire and killed himself.

Bonehead Post of The Week.
 
This has to be a publicity nightmare for NASCAR and the sponsors of the different teams that Busch drives for. It'll be interesting to see if there's any pressure on Gibbs to get him to straighten up "..or else." He has been shuffled out of another big-name ride before.
 
Not taking his side so much...but i remember a few years back when I was following my brother fron St. Louis to KY lake in a (higher end) rental car. He said he was going to put the pedal to the metal and had a fuzz buster. He liked to go 90 and I was generally used to 80. I'd get behind and have to go 100 to catch up. Once I was fiddling with the radio and he got way ahead so i just floored it. Ran 120 for a few miles to catch him..it wasn't a big deal.:)

Im sure Joe will give him a talkin'-to
 
Kyle just better be glad he didn't run into anyone, or any animals. Here in NC, people pull out in front of you all the time. I have to slam on my break before because of some jackass who don't want to wait 5 seconds, and that's between 45mph to 60mph....imagine how bad it could've been at 145mph.

Kyle Busch = Jackass.

Was this on a back road, or the highway or Interstate?

I agree, it could have been real bad. Even though I'm a fan what he did was extremely stupid. I love racing and I love driving fast myself and I consider myself a pretty good driver but there is never a good reason to do that. Even though they say it was a rural area there are still houses and traffic around there and there is no reason ever, unless it is a closed course of some sort, to go those speeds on public roads. Like others around here have said "anything could have happened" that's exactly right and that's why they are called accidents, you don't expect it to happen. I would hate to see someone his age and with his talent throw it all away because he was being stupid and killed somebody or worse, kill himself. The guy has the money to rent out a track for a few hours if he wants to drive like a maniac, why not do that? Why possibly put other people in danger because you want to act like a fool? I don't get it.

Then again I was young and stupid once and there were times things could have gone wrong becasue I was driving like an idiot but 130 in a 45, thats ****ing stupid.

Thats highway isn't it? I do that almost every night when I get off work on the interstate, 100 on an interstate nowhere near the same thing as doing 130 on a windy 2 lane road posted as 45.
 
Hmmm...V-10, 0-60 in 3.6, 202mph top speed, carbon fiber body, state of the art brakes and handling....yeah, I'd have goosed it, too :D
 
I would not want to face Joe Gibbs after that incident. I crewed on a nitro funny car team that competed against his funny car team when he was in nhra. I have worked with a lot of his crew guys, and was in their pit, and at their shop a lot and I got to know him pretty well. He is a very nice guy but unless he has changed, he will not put up with a lot of bad behavior. I drive the race car hauler and usually get to the tracks a few days earlier then the rest of the team, so I stopped at his shop on the way to Charlotte last year and hung out for the day. His nascar shop sure is a lot bigger then the shop he had in Indy for his drag racing teams.

Not only did he put himself at risk, the possibility of hitting a pedestrian or another car, he put his passenger at risk too!
 
I sent an e-mail to the Iredell sheriffs office, telling them how ashamed they should be regarding the 128 in a 45...The e-mail they returned to me looks like their in damage control mode. The first thing I thought of was if people really believe their line of B.S. ......A flight risk....LOL...I'll assume thats because he's married to "THE GOLDDIGGER"

cut n paste e-mail

I do understand what you are saying, however Law enforcement officers cannot take a persons license, that is up to the courts. As to the arrest, It is up to the officer when the person commits a traffic offense that does not require arrest. One of the reasons we arrest for some offenses is if they are a flight risk and we think they will not show up for court or we cannot identify the person. We can only charge the person, it us up to the courts to punish him.

Shoulda, woulda and coulda..... :sarcasm: Nothing happened other than Kyle got busted for speeding.

I got ticketed about ten years ago for 145 in a 50 and it cost me $700. My only regret to date is that I stopped. There is no way that LEO could have caught my Busa.
 
Kyle Busch's lack of maturity shines again. Just when it seems as though he's growing up, he does something stupid again. I'd think that with his connections to the sport that he might be able to find a place to take his test drive without endangering others.

What do you think they should have done? Its not an offense he can be put in jail for, unless he refuses to sign the ticket, and until he goes to court and appears in front of a judge.

If he were in VA and was in front of the right judge, he'd be looking a going to jail for day equal to how many MPH's over 100 he did.
 
Apparently, the Toyota guys are getting a chance to drive that Lexus because Denny Hamlin had a post about it on Twitter.

The N.C speeding laws are laughable at best, due to it being NASCRAP country...Until one of these guys kills themselve or some innocent person. He should have been cuffed and hauled in. Then had to post a BOND .

Here in Wi...anything over 30+ mph has the same points (6) as a D.U.I.

Right now he is at 7 points if you use the N.C. POINT SYSTEM...
