I hope this isn't a repost...
NASCAR speeder

Kyle Busch was cited for going 128mph in a 45mph zone. He was test driving a Lexus.

If it was me, they would have to call in crime scene cleanup to clear up the teeth, blood and the 7 shades of E36 M3 the cops beat outta me for doing something like that.

He was cited in an LFA in Moorseville, NC, the heart of NASCAR. I don't agree with it, but it doesn't surprise me. The cop was probably a fan.

Meh. Jalopnik is like the National Enquirer of automotive journalism.

I'd take that with a grain of salt.

Junior Johnson would probably b!tch slap him for not outrunning the cops, especially in that car. Ain't that how NASCAR got started decades ago...outrunning the police?

Someone i know just got pulled over at the exact same speed in a 45 zone on a motorcycle, by an off duty officer out of his jurisdiction on his way home from work. He didnt even get a ticket or any other local on duty officers called to the scene.

I never get out of any tickets, ever. FML.
