"While the race car can reach top speeds of 160 mph, had a 22-race career and is one of only two street legal Nextel Cup cars, : Barry said he always observes speed limits when off-track. Still, he said, he’s been stopped 'quite a few times' while promoting NASCAR, whiskey and 'responsible drinking.' When he does, he said, he takes the opportunity to educate police officers about the legalities of the high-powered ride."

So I clicked on the link because I knew NASCAR was in my backyard this weekend and imagine my surprise that the Cop in the picture (Duane Jacques) is a guy I went to school with in jr. high and high school. Its funny that I would stumble into the article here and not locally. Thanks for the post.
