Not as risky as the drug runners but one time British GT driver from the mid 1990s, James Munroe who was partnered by Chris Goodwin in a McLaren F1 on the track back then has been sentenced for fraud for the third time, will he ever learn?

In 1987 Bill Whittington was sentenced to 15 years in Federal prison for drug smuggling and tax evasion; Don was sentenced to 18 months for money laundering.

Looks like old habits die hard.

In early 80s former NASCAR driver Gary Balough was sentence to 45 months in prison for drug trafficking. On interesting note when he was arrested he made bail to drive a race at Richmond.
