128 mph in a 45 mph zone

NASCAR star Kryle Busch cited in North Carolina for going 128 in a 45 on a public street. He was driving the new Lexas supercar they got coming out. Good times...

When his brother did this a few years ago he lost his ride at Roush. Lets see if JGR & NASCAR have any nads to punish him. But they probably won't since he is the anointed one. He is already on probation...

I personally think he should get AT LEAST a 3 race ban, from all three series. But sponsorship money drives the sport so no way they park him.

But big brother was under the influence and getting belligerent with the LEO.

I don't see where NASCAR has any ground in this. Maybe JGR but who knows, it's just a speeding ticket. Not like you've NEVER sped before. Being on probation in NASCAR has nothing to do with driving on public roads.

Just because you love to hate him doesn't mean he should realistically get his hard card pulled.

See NASCAR needs to quit meddling in stuff that's not race/track related.

If something goes on race weekend in the confines or immediate vicinity, then by all means have at it.

What's next? Putting drivers on probation/banning them for doing burnouts in the parking lot of their race shop.

All other major sports leagues monitor off field activities. If they majorly screw up in their personal lives they get punished. NASCAR should be no different.

That kind of speed on a city street is what got someone close to me killed when she was hit. In my opinion, he's using a deadly weapon in an irresponsible manner. He has no sympathy from me.

Couldn't have said it any better. They represent NASCAR 24/7. They are held to a higher standard.

Is doing 128 in a 45 less dangerous than a DUI? I think both are just as dangerous.

Can't say I have ever gone 83 mph over the posted speed limit. Its just a little more dangerous than doing 10 over. The law in most states puts speeding in different categories anyway. Some states if you do double the speed limit its an automatic night in jail. Get caught street racing in Cali and they can seize your car and crush it if they want. But 83 over is no big deal

And what good does interfering in players personal lives do? It doesn't change a damn thing. Look at the No Fun League.

People get caught doing bad things outside of work they get fired. Just look at the clowns at my job that got caught on video boozing it up at lunch off site, they got fired. No different than sports leagues.

A stupid friend of mine did something similar, 150 in a 55 on a bike. His license was suspended, and he was put into jail for a bit initially.

I guess since Rowdy is a "star" he got a different treatment than you or I would. Throw the book at him (within the law)!
