Former NASCAR champion Kurt Busch was arrested on Tuesday night … after authorities say they caught him driving drunk.
The outlet, citing court documents, reported Busch told officers he had been drinking prior to the stop — and elicited signs of being wasted, including having “red glassy eyes.”
Law enforcement says Busch had a blood-alcohol concentration of .17 — more than two times the legal limit of .08 in North Carolina.
“I’m very disappointed in myself and I apologize to my family, my racing family, and to my fans,” he said. “I will work with the authorities to rectify the situation and work with the county to make it a safer place in the future.”
