Police in Iredell County, N.C., said they gave Nascar driver Kyle Busch a speeding ticket and charged him with reckless driving yesterday after a sheriff’s deputy clocked him at 128 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone.
Busch, who drives for Joe Gibbs Racing Inc., was driving on Perth Road, between the towns of Troutman and Mooresville, N.C., near where the 26-year-old driver lives and where many Nascar teams have headquarters and race shops.
Busch reportedly was test-driving a yellow Lexus LFA, a super sports car with more than 550 horsepower and a top speed around 200 mph.
Toyota released the following statement: “The Lexus LFA is a unique sports car with tremendous capabilities. Lexus gave Kyle Busch the opportunity for a demonstration drive and he obviously chose to test those capabilities. He is scheduled to return the LFA today and we’re confident he’ll do so in a responsible manner.”
Joe Gibbs Racing could not be reached immediately for comment, though it has been reported that Busch released a statement apologizing for the incident.
