Reactions to Kyle Busch

Firstly, I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I am a car fan (obviously). My gut reaction to hearing about Busch's ticket was amazement. I know doing 128 in a 45 is outrageous and reckless, but it still kind of made me smile. Especially since he was driving a bright yellow Lexus LFA with his wife riding shotgun. There's been a lot of backlash in NC about this, and as an NC resident I find it to be too much. Feedback from you all? I know I will probably get roasted lol.

I have no true feelings whether it be negative or positive about Kyle Busch, I'm not a Nascar Fan by any stretch and I don't think this should really affect his career or how people feel about him. Granted he took it overboard, but He is a Nascar driver, so I can assume he knew it was safe and he knew what he was doing. I have no compassion for people that drink and drive or speed and drive like idiots, but I feel like he got a little carried away (I think I would too If I was behind the wheel of an LFA.. ) and he understands that it can't happen again.

Feelings about him doing 128 in an LFA?

Uhhh, I would have been doing 138.

Feelings about him getting off so easy?

My license would have been suspended. I'm pissed. It's not really his fault that he got off so easily though. Can't hate the man for being rich, blessed, and getting off because of our dumb judicial system.

That's the only thing that really bothers me about it. My car would've been towed, license suspended and a night in jail.

He deserves no special treatment. If I had done it her they would have taken my car and my license.

I doubt he got carried away taking the LFA on a test drive with his wife in the car. Im pretty sure he knew he celebrity status would let him get a wrist slap as most celebrity/famous people do get all of the time. And just cause he thinks its safe doesnt mean it is safe how many people scream about people street racing with normal car and he is doing it in a exotic car 3x the speed limit showing a bad example to everyone. Being that his is rich and that toyota/lexus let him test drive the car they couldnt have rented a track for him to test it on? Just not very professional IMO.
