Georgia DUI Charges Against NASCAR Team Owner Dropped

Billy Ballew had been arrested for drunk driving in Atlanta before a race.

The Henry County Solicitor elected to drop the charges against NASCAR team owner Billy Bellew. Ballew was stopped on the Atlanta Motor Speedway grounds last March by a Henry County sheriff’s deputy. The officer spotted a mixed drink in the vehicle and, after Ballew refused to submit to a breath test, an arrest for driving under the influence in Georgia was initiated.

The county solicitor elected not to press GA DUI charges after learning that Ballew had not been driving erratically and the deputy did not indicate that he had detected alcohol. The solicitor indicated there was not enough evidence to justify the traffic stop.
