Apparently Danica Patrick thought she could practice car racing in a 35 mile per hour zone. She was pulled over for speeding (going 54 in a 35) and given a $196 ticket.

Well… you know how it is. You get a Mercedes (which just happens to be the kind of car she drives by the way) and you’ve got to see what it can do.

Or maybe she was just late for Christmas shopping? Either way, she was supposed to be in court on Monday but then decided to just pay the darn thing and be done with it.

This isn’t the first time she’s been caught for speeding, however. She was ticketed a year ago (for going 57 in a 40) and has received “several” tickets in the “past three years.”

At least she’s keeping up with publicity in between races….

Danica Patrick Gets a Speeding Ticket… AGAIN

NASCAR drivers Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch had a pre-Bud Shootout scuffle on the racetrack Friday night so immature even a pair of archenemy 7-year-olds would say, “Guys, act your age, not your shoe size.”

Here’s a snippet from the FOXNews rundown of the episode:

Busch attempted to block Stewart and got hit from behind, damaging both cars. Busch retaliated by slamming into the side of Stewart’s car twice as they drove back toward the garage. Stewart then used his car to block Busch from entering the garage.

The not-confirmed, not-denied word from the pit is that the fists flew afterwards, when Busch insulted Stewart and the latter let his fist to the talking. Both men received a warning from NASCAR officials but no fines at the time of post.

Stewart and Busch have a history of not hearting each other. We’re pretty sure they won’t be sending each other Valentine’s Day cards this year, either.
