NY to Vegas rally nets speeding tickets, arrest
DENVER — Colorado authorities say five drivers were ticketed and another was arrested for speeding during a luxury auto rally from New York City to Las Vegas. The Colorado State Patrol said it received several complaints as the Bullrun Live Rally passed through Colorado on Wednesday. Authorities said the driver who was arrested was going more than 40 mph over the speed limit of 65 mph near Idaho Springs on Interstate 70. The driver faces charges of reckless driving and excessive speed.
Trooper Heather Cobler said five other drivers were also ticketed and several others received warnings. She says several of the cars in the rally had police scanners.
Former NBA star Dennis Rodman participated in the 2005 rally and was also ticketed for speeding in Colorado.
