When I saw the headline, I thought that's all?! LOL!
UPDATE: Lexus just provided Jalopnik with a statement regarding the car, which they confirmed was an LFA loaned to Busch by the company:
Looks like Lexus is getting their car back and they're not worried about him blasting above 120 mph to do it.

The Lexus LFA is a unique sportscar with tremendous capabilities. Lexus gave Kyle Busch the opportunity for a demonstration drive and he obviously chose to test those capabilities. He is scheduled to return the LFA tomorrow and we're confident he'll do so in a responsible manner.

Exactly, they aint bothered. Kyle had it in hand. It could be staged, what cop can catch 128mph? Radar is great, but the street he was on probably isn't 2 lanes in 1 direction, and I highly doubt he would fly by a moving officer. So how was he stopped? This screams stunt, closed road, publicity for that town, KB and Toyota/Lexus. IMO- and I don't even mind it.

To serve what purpose? Wouldn't it have been easier to just take the car to Charlotte Motor Speedway and do a lap with a cameraman present?

No, but from another site (autoblog) users have stated they've seen him driving it, and on the street he was pulled over. I'm not certain it was one lane or two, but from comments made it seems like this could be staged, one person even says he lives an hour away and knows it's "a country two lane road."

Geeze people are analyzing the facts WAAAAY too much. Kyle Busch got a speeding ticket in the LFA going 128 period. Staged...I really doubt it.As for going 100+ in the LFA. I've done it many times on the track....and on the streets...lets just say it's too easy to do if you're busy listening to the engine rev to 9k.

For all those saying he should've kept going...that would never happen. There wouldve be helicopters and roadblocks setup within minutes. Here's what happened to me.
I was caught doing 102 in a 65 on I95 North. I was at 102 coming around a a slight curve with a state trooper hiding behind the overpass. As soon as I saw him I slowed down...looked in my rearview mirror his tires were spinning, his back tail going back and forth sideways and dirt being kicked up everywhere..like Roscoe P. Coltrain coming after the Duke boys. I let off the gas and he was behind me in no time. I pulled over and he came to the passenger window and first thing he said was "You better have Dale Earnhardt Jr's name on your license" Lol. He told me to get out and frisked me for weapons. Then he told me to sit in the passenger seat of his vehicle and I explained to him a pickup truck was trying to run me off the road and I was speeding away..which is what really happend. No arrest, just had a NC lawyer rep me in court and pay small fine and take a def driving course.
Like another member mentioned any element can make a situation worst...be careful.
