I saw this and had to laugh, not at the fact that Danica got a ticket for speeding but hearing police pulling her over for speeding. Duh! She is getting ready for the season that kicks off April 5th, 2009 in St Petersburg. If I was an IRL driver I am sure I would be in the same boat alot. When you drive a race car that goes 200 plus mph and then get into a car that may top 120, wouldn't you try to get it to go as fast as you could?

Petty Enterprises & Gillett Evernham Motorsports
Friday 01-02-2009 2:16am ET
The final stages are in the works for the merger between Petty & GEM. What has happened to Nascar in the last few years or the last couple of decades. Remember Petty being the force to reckon with, Richard 200 career wins? Then you have DEI that was headed up by Dale Earnhardt winner of 7 championships now seeing his company merging with Ganassi. Are the economic signs a picture of what is to come? Back in the day you had teams that had 1 or 2 cars and competed like champs but now if you don't have 4-5 teams your not going to make it, but after 2009, Nascar teams can only own 4 teams. Well here is more on the Petty, GEM Merger (nascar.com)
