According to reports, Kyle Busch was cited Tuesday in North Carolina for going 128 mph in a 45-mph zone, or as ESPN.com's David Newton so accurately points out in his coverage of the event, almost three times the speed limit (total math major). Busch was pulled over by the Iredell County Sheriff's department and ultimately charged with careless and reckless driving as well as speeding. He was behind the wheel of a yellow Lexus, and told authorities at the time of his citation he was test driving the car, which was a manufacturer's vehicle and not registered in anyone's name. 

Shortly after the embarrassing traffic infraction, Busch issued a statement apologizing for his lack of judgment while test driving the sports car. While we don't have an exact transcript of the apology, we assume it went something like this:

"I'm Kyle Busch and I'm sorry for being a douchebag. I'm sorry I get to do cool s*** that you could never even dream of, and I'm sorry my disgusting, pudgy white face takes it all for granted every single day. I'm also sorry I get to bag hot chicks I totally don't deserve in real life. Kyle Busch out."
