    Ryan Lochte can’t drive 55, but he can drive 175

    Ryan LochteDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Ryan Lochte is arguably the fastest swimmer on the planet. Apparently, he's no slouch on the road, either.

    The three-time Olympic gold medalist, who could challenge Michael Phelps' record of eight golds won in the 2008 Games, was at Daytona International Speedway Thursday serving as the Grand Marshall for the Gatorade Duel 150s. Lochte, a Daytona native, is a self-proclaimed race fan. When asked how fast he's driven on the road, Lochte hesitated — and probably for good reason.

    "175," he finally revealed.

    He didn't say exactly when or where, just that it came on a highway when he made sure no one was around.

    Kyle Busch would be jealous.

      Kyle Busch is also jealous of championship-calubur drivers. Looks like Jay Busbee is still copying and pasting his Kyle Busch picks every week.

      If he was driving a European sports car on the interstate I would believe him,but not a Jap piece of junk. I drove a 1968 GTO at over 140mph on I-65 years ago and it was smooth and stable.

      I seriously doubt this claim. Most cars fall apart at that speed and the smallest ripple in the road becomes a launch pad.

        I have been the passenger in a Porsche 911 going 165 mph on a Minnesota highway. And Minnesota highways are notorious for being rough. I wouldn't recommend it but it's not a big deal going 175 in the right vehicle in the hands of a good driver.

        I went that fast in a Neon. A souped up one yes but still....a Neon. Your post is wrong.
