You don’t need a driver’s license to compete in NASCAR!
Kyle Busch, a NASCAR driver, had his license suspended for going 128 mph in a 45-mph area. The result was the suspension of his driving privileges for 45 days and a $1,000 fine, yet strangely only some of his driving privileges were limited. Busch was still allowed to compete in driving competitions because it is not technically essential to have a state driver’s license for NASCAR.
To compete, all a driver must do is be over 18, and pass the driving ability tests that the organization administers. State law did not ban Busch from driving because he is not operating a common motor vehicle and is not driving in public areas!
