Kyle Busch pleads guilty to speeding

STATESVILLE, N.C. (AP)
NASCAR points leader Kyle Busch lost his driver's license for 45 days on Tuesday for driving 128 mph on a road close to a day-care center and church in a nearly $400,000 car. His lawyer said his client was not treated "like any other citizen."

Busch, who doesn't need a license to compete in NASCAR, also was fined $1,000, sentenced to 30 hours of community service and put on one year of unsupervised probation. He pleaded guilty to speeding and no contest to reckless and careless driving in North Carolina District Court in Iredell County.

True title threat Kyle Busch shows he has what it takes to snatch Jimmie Johnson's crown, Lee Spencer says.
Busch addressed the court before his sentencing by District Court Judge H. Thomas Church, apologizing again for driving 128 mph in a 45 mph zone in a bright yellow 2012 Lexus on May 24.

"I think you'll be different in the future," Church said.

"I sure will, your honor," Busch replied.

Busch and his wife, Samantha, were in the car when he was pulled over on a two-lane road in an area near a subdivision, a day-care center and a church. The hand-built LFA sports car was on loan to Busch from Lexus for a 24-hour test drive.

Wow, that makes my 82 in a 55 look like nothing. They aren't playing here in NC about speeding.

Reckless endangerment of life = no license for a long time + jail time + lots and lots of fines + car being confiscated by police

In Illinois the cops would be owning that car right now. There was a guy in a nearby town driving a Viper doing 95 or something ridiculous in town. He lost the car.

I got one doin the almost the same speeds when I was pretty new to driving, got a speeding over 85mph ticket which is also considered reckless driving where I lived at the time. Points off the lisense, $500 and that was it.
