Kurt Busch Arrested for DWI in North Carolina

Former NASCAR Cup Series champion Kurt Busch was arrested in Iredell County, North Carolina, on charges of driving while impaired, speeding, and reckless driving. The 46-year-old was stopped late Tuesday night for driving 63 mph in a 45 mph zone. A sobriety test revealed a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.17, more than double the legal limit of 0.08. Busch was taken to the Iredell County Jail and later released with a written promise to appear in court on September 19. He has expressed regret and apologized to his family, fans, and the racing community. This incident marks a troubling moment for Busch, who had previously faced similar DUI issues in 2005 but had worked to rehabilitate his public image since then.
