  • Kyle Busch ticketed for reckless driving near Richmond airport

    RICHMOND, Va. -- NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was ticketed for reckless driving in a Richmond suburb Wednesday night.

    The misdemeanor charge carries up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine and a driver's license suspension, said Sgt. Don Lambert, with Henrico County police. The charge also calls for a mandatory court appearance; Busch will appear in Henrico County General District Court on May 23.

    Lambert said the incident happened at 10 p.m. near Richmond International Airport, a few minutes outside the city.

    Neither speed nor alcohol was a factor, though Lambert would not provide further details.

    "The officer observed his driving behavior consistent with reckless driving," he told the Associated Press late Thursday night.

    The 20-year-old Busch, who drives for Hendrick Motorsports, grabbed his Busch first series victory on May 14, 2004, at Richmond International Raceway. He went on to four more victories and completed the year with five poles and five wins, becoming the youngest top rookie in Busch series history at age 19.

    Tuesday, Busch again appeared at the Richmond raceway for the Virginia kickoff of "Focus on Driving," Sprint Nextel's attentive driving education program.

    Busch's older brother and NASCAR star, Kurt, had his own legal problems because of a traffic incident last year.

    Kurt Busch was sat down by Rousch for the final two races last year and authorities ordered him to perform 50 hours of community service after he became belligerent with Phoenix area police during a 2005 traffic stop. He was charged with reckless driving.

    Busch later apologized.

    Henrico County authorities said the younger Busch, who lives in Mooresville, N.C., was cooperative.

      Busch on Richmond ticket: I 'chirped' my tires !

      Reigning Cup rookie of the year was trying to get some fvckin' KFC !

      Kyle Busch said Friday that he was ticketed for reckless driving after he "chirped'' his tires while pulling out of a gas station and into a fast-food restaurant next door.

      Busch received the ticket Wednesday night in a Richmond suburb. The misdemeanor charge carries up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine and a driver's license suspension, said Sgt. Don Lambert, with Henrico County police. Busch will appear in Henrico County General District Court on May 23.


      Lambert said the incident happened at 10 p.m. near Richmond International Airport, a few minutes outside the city. He declined to provide details.

      However, Busch offered his version to reporters at the Nashville Superspeedway in Tennessee on Friday. He said the parking lots of the gas station and the Kentucky Fried Chicken are not connected, so he had to pull onto the street to get to the restaurant.

      Busch said he could see traffic approaching after a light changed "so I pulled out of the gas station, I chirped my tires, went about 20 feet at less than 10 mph and turned into the KFC, which was right next door.''

      He said he stopped in the KFC lot to allow some pedestrians to pass, then continued to the drive-through window.

      "As I was in the drive-through, I had completed my food order before seeing any blue lights behind me,'' he said. "That's when I saw the blue lights and just stayed put and waited for them to come up to my window.''

        "Used to be there was something called a Gentlemen's agreement in Cup Series competition. This unwritten, unspoken code of respectful conduct was utilized by NASCAR racing professionals during the heat of battle. Give-and-take, as it were.

        That code is extinct.

        These days respect is given strictly on a case-by-case basis. For the most part, drivers race as they're raced, show competitors as much respect as those competitors show them. "

          I think Kurt and Kyle both will get little respect from their peers the rest of the year unless they both start changing their ways
