Kyle Busch charged with reckless driving!

 

NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was ticketed for careless and reckless driving in North Carolina on Tuesday, according to a newspaper report.

Busch was cited for careless and reckless driving after deputies said they clocked him doing nearly three times the posted speed limit, according to the Statesville Record and Landmark. Police said they clocked Busch's yellow sports car at 128 mph in a 45-mph zone.

Busch, who was stopped between the towns of Troutman and Mooresville, competes for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide series. He is also owner of Kyle Busch Motorsports, the team for which he also sometimes drives in the Camping World Truck Series.

Busch is currently on NASCAR probation for a post-race incident with Kevin Harvick earlier this month. That applies to all NASCAR events.

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.
