Not sure what the fascination with athletes is to drive 40 miles per hour over the speed limit, but I suppose Josh Howard just wanted to keep up with his peers. Howard was arrested in his hometown of Winston-Salem after clocking in at 94 MPH in a 55 zone.

Police said an officer saw a black Lexus and a silver Volkswagen speeding along U.S. 421 in Winston-Salem late Thursday night. The officer stopped the Lexus, and Howard was identified as the driver. Authorities didn’t identify the other driver.


In addition to the speeding charge, Howard was charged with careless and reckless driving and speed competition. He’s due in court September 23rd. There is no truth to the rumor that he’s the out of wedlock father of Nick Hogan.

And if you’re not wondering, Howard’s official Web site lists his “Rides” as one section of the site.Â

WHEN JOSH ISN’T RUNNING one of his camps during the offseason, you’ll typically find him working on or enjoying one of his vintage automobiles. At some future point, we’ll take you inside the rides of No. 5. For now, you can enjoy this interview about the origin of his interest.
