NBA Star Busted in Drag

Josh HowardDallas Mavericks star Josh Howard has been arrested for a drag racing incident -- rest assured North Carolina, no heels were involved!

He was charged with speeding (94 in a 55), careless and reckless driving, and speed competition, while driving a black Lexus chasing a VW late Thursday night down U.S. 421.

Howard was released from Forsyth County jail, after promising in writing he'd appear in court on Sept. 23. Is breaking a written promise a felony in N.C.?

UPDATE: We're told Howard never had to pose for a mugshot because police had him contained -- but he was never jailed. He signed his promise to appear and was sent packin'.

This doesn't surprise me. fact is Josh is becoming the "problem child" for the Mavs. I won't be shocked if Cuban trades him. Although, Mark Cuban never trades the players that SHOULD be traded..just players that shouldnt BE..LIKE
Steve Nash, Mike Finley, Devin Harris..
Anyways, Josh needs to go.

I have to laugh at this, being from NC. My only question is what the hell was under the hood of the VW? LOL!! He was driving a black Lexus CHASING a VW? ROFLMAO What is worse than being arrested? Having to admit a Vee Wee tromped you in a drag race!

Seriously.. Drag racing happens AT A TRACK. The correct term for this would actually be Street Racing.
