According to the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles website, Busch could lose his driver's license for at least 60 days with a conviction. That would not affect his NASCAR career, however. Competitors in NASCAR need a license from the organization but not a state driver's license to compete.

So, should NASCAR follow suit and ban Kyle Busch from competing for 60 days, if he loses his license?

Ridiculous suggestion? Maybe. Just wanted your thoughts.

Wow, that would be great for those who dislike Kyle, but it might be a really bad decision on the part of NASCAR. NASCAR needs a bad boy and right now, there isn't a "badder" one than Kyle...well maybe Kevin.
 
no...would they suspend jr. if he got a dui and lost his state license? only in bizarro world.

Didnt Kurt get busted too? Didnt MW wreck a car and leave the scene? Thats a felony, what did nascar do to him?
 
Comparing excessive speed to a DWI is like comparing slapping someone to shooting someone with a shotgun.

NASCAR should mind their own business and start worrying about fixing their problems first.
 
I thought in order to have a nascar license, then you have to have a drivers license.

I guess thats not true anymore? or was that ever the case...
 
As much as I dislike Busch and the people who give him fellatio at every chance...no, I don't think he should be suspended from NASCAR. This didn't take place on the track, or directly affect his performance in NASCAR, so no.

I thought the same thing.

Are drivers required to have a valid driver's licence from a state / country to race in NASCAR?
A valid driver's license is NOT a requirement to compete in NASCAR. Competitors must have a valid NASCAR license.(ThatsRacin)(6-2-2004)
 
I would much rather see him show up at the track this weekend with 2 black eyes and a broken nose courtesy of his father in law...:cool:
 
I wonder if there's a morality clause in his contract? If not, why not?

:beerbang: Love it, someone that will just say how they really feel instead of standing on a soap box and being self-righteous about how someone SHOULD act.

**** no, thats the dumbest thing that has been mentioned so far. Would your employer do that?
 
I hope this goes to court, because that would give the judge the opportunity to turn this situation in to something positive. Kyle needs to learn a lesson from this. He will be fined, but that won't hurt him much. He needs to lose his license, but that won't hurt him that bad either, because he can afford to just hire someone to drive him around. He could do some jail time, and that might help a little, but I think the judge could do something that would not only teach him, but would help teach kids too. The judge could send him to a reckless driving class where he will see a lot pictures and videos of some pretty gruesome stuff that will stay with him for a long time. Then he could be court ordered to do an x- amount of community service where he has to go to schools and teach safe driving. This is pretty serious stuff here. The laws in the county that Kyle received his citations in should determine what the courts can do. One of the drivers of a top fuel team had his two sons lost in a high speed crash when they lost control of a car they were in. I seen some of the pictures and that would effect me a lot worse then any fine, jail time, or punitive damages.

So, it's already been reduced from a misdemeanor to an infraction (according to the source).
 
Busch's primary sponsor caters mainly to children, but I'm pretty sure that they didn't expect him to act like a child himself to fit the role.

How many children will even know about this? If they do find out, is this going to make them grow up to be bad people? Speeders? murderers? If his sponsor has an issue with his antics, I am sure they will handle it with him or take their money elsewhere. I suspect that they are laughing all the way to the bank with the exposure Kyle gives them.

Kyle should not have been speeding on a public road. He got caught (as do most good people when they are doing something they shouldn't be). The court will dish out the punishment that they see fit. Is there really anything else to discuss here?

Only the fact that there are many people, especially on this board, who just don't like the guy.

For me, I like Kyle as a racer. I love the passion he has for winning. I want to root for a driver that wins. I don't care if you like him or you like me. My time on this board is more for entertainment than anything else. I play the devil's advocate because it not only stirs the pot but it's just interesting to see what others will say or do.
 
I don't see why Nascar should get involved. It had nothing to do with them.
 
Michael Annett got a deuce in Feb. and NASCAR didn't do anything to him, so I don't see why they would step into to Kyle's situation.
 
NASCAR had already stated that this matter doesn't involve them and that they would not take any sanctions against Kyle.

Competitors in NASCAR need a license from the organization but not a state driver's license to compete. NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said the speeding ticket does not violate the probation Busch received from the sanctioning body for a pit road altercation at Darlington, S.C., this month. "This is a matter that Kyle will have to handle with the authorities in Iredell County," Tharp said. "Based on what we know right now, this would not impact his status as a NASCAR driver."

Did Kyle Busch get special treatment? Video on this from WBTV in the link.

Did Kyle Busch get special treatment? The WBTV web sites and Facebook have been blowing up with angry comments from viewers who say NASCAR driver Kyle Busch got special treatment when he was caught speeding 128 miles an hour in a 45 zone on Perth Road Tuesday afternoon. According to the Iredell County Sheriff's Office, Busch was driving his new 2012 yellow Lexus LFA supercar when he was clocked doing nearly three times the posted speed limit. Busch was issued a citation for careless and reckless driving and speeding, deputies told WBTV. That made many WBTV viewers very angry.
So was Kyle Busch given special treatment? A North Carolina police chief and traffic attorney contacted by WBTV said it appeared to them that Busch was treated properly and that the issuing of the citation was the appropriate action on the part of Iredell County Sgt. Chris Stone. "The attitude of the person...unless they get unruly, question the ancestry of the officer involved, I wouldn't think they would take them to jail, put them under a bond, have the vehicle towed and impounded, all of which could happen, but it's been a long time since I've seen it," said attorney Cecil Whitley.
A police chief told WBTV that officers have discretion in such cases, and that most of the time for speeding an reckless driving, a citation would be issued. The driver would only be arrested if there were other circumstances, such as additional charges for eluding arrest, alcohol, involvement in an accident, or if the officer determined that the driver would be unlikely to show up for court. He said in this case, Kyle Busch would not be considered a flight risk. As far as the penalty is concerned, if Busch were to be convicted on the charges he now faces, he would lose his North Carolina driver's license for one year. That would not impact his ability to drive a race car since NASCAR requires each driver to have a NASCAR license, not a driver's license.

:beerbang: Feel the same way, stirring the pot makes it a hell of a lot more fun doesn't it?
 
And I still stand by my stance. Gearheads driving at ridiculous speeds on country roads has been around since the car was invented, and will continue long after we're dead and gone (provided there are still cars then.)

But, since it's Kyle in this case, he apparently should be flogged, dragged and quartered, keel-hauled, and last but not least, banned from NASCAR.:rolleyes:
 
Does anyone know where I can find that DEADHORSE GIF?

Maybe everyone's just trying to get their post count up? :D

No doubt. Where's the bash thread for Junior Johnson for speeding around the countryside, hauling moonshine and evading the police??
