The Busch Brothers Saga

NASCAR driver Kyle Busch said Friday that he was ticketed for reckless driving after he "chirped" his tires while pulling out of a gas station & 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 & a driver's license suspension. Busch will appear in Henrico County General District Court on May 23rd.

Kurt Busch was sat down by Roush Racing 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, and later apologized. Busch intentionally hit the back of Biffle's car early in last Sunday's race, causing an accident that ended Biffle's day. Biffle, the defending race winner, had led 49 of the first 82 laps before the crash & wound up 42nd.
