STATESVILLE, N. Indians Jersey .C. -- NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was clocked by a North Carolina sheriffs deputy going 128 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone and was cited for careless and reckless driving and speeding, a law enforcement spokesman said Tuesday. Iredell County Sheriffs Office Capt. Darren Campbell said a deputy stopped Buschs 2012 yellow Lexus sports car on a road between Troutman and Mooresville, where the 26-year-old driver lives. Its about 30 miles north of Charlotte. Campbell said Busch was cited and released upon a written promise to appear in court. In a statement issued late Tuesday, Busch acknowledged what happened. "I was test-driving a new sports car and I got carried away," Busch said. "I went beyond the speed I should have been going on a public road. I apologize to the public, my fans, sponsors, and race teams for my lack of judgment." Busch, who drives for Joe Gibbs Racing, accepted responsibility and said it would never happen again. NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said Busch would be allowed to race this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Hes coming off a second-place finish in Saturday nights all-star race, and goes into the Coca-Cola 600 ranked third in the Sprint Cup Series standings. "This is a matter that Kyle will have to handle with the authorities in Iredell County," Tharp said. "Based on what we know right now, this would not impact his status as a NASCAR driver." In 2006, Busch pleaded guilty to improper driving and was fined US$150 after he was ticketed in suburban Richmond, Va., on a reckless driving charge when he pulled out of a gas station and into a fast-food restaurant. Busch said at the time he "chirped" his tires but didnt exceed 10 m.p.h. Under a misdemeanour reckless driving charge he originally faced, Busch could have received up to one year in jail, a $2,500 fine and a drivers license suspension. Last month, Busch was placed on probation through June 15 after he and Kevin Harvick confronted each other in the pits after a race at Darlington Raceway.John Lackey Cubs Jersey . - Brandon Bolden figured hed have to make an impact on special teams with the New England Patriots after a solid career as a college running back.

Mediate shot a 9-under 63 on Friday at Hualalai Golf Course, playing the first seven holes in 6-under with four birdies and a chip-in eagle on the par-5 seventh. He added birdies on Nos. 10, 14 and 18 -- holing a 15-footer from the fringe on the closing hole. "I almost didnt play. My left hip is really bothering me," said Mediate, a two-time winner last year in his first season on the 50-and-over tour after winning six times on the PGA Tour. "The chiropractors here are exceptional. I went out and told myself to try and play. It actually got better as the round went on. This came out of nowhere." Mediate is marrying longtime girlfriend Jessica Somers at the Four Seasons Hualalai on Monday, then heading to Torrey Pines -- the site of his 2008 U.S. Open playoff loss to Tiger Woods -- to play the PGA Tours Farmers Insurance Open.

"I was really good with the putter," Forsman said. "Very relaxed." Fred Couples, Fred Funk, Tom Pernice Jr. and Steve Elkington shot 65. Couples played the four par 5s in 6-under, eagling Nos. 4 and 7 and birdieing Nos. 10 and 14. On No. 7, his ball caromed off the lava rocks and ended up rolling across the green and stopping 8 feet from the hole. "It was obviously a big break, probably turning a 6 into a 3 on that hole," Couples said. "The round was OK, but I was only 1-under par on the other 14 holes. I need to do much better. I played four days in a row before today. For me, thats a lot of work."

Kenny Perry opened with a 72. He was the tours player of the year last season, winning three times and taking the Charles Schwab Cup points title.
