NASCAR star Kyle Busch remains free in the US despite being sentenced to a prison sentence of more than three years by a Mexican court.
The racer said he "made a mistake" by accidentally taking a handgun with him on holiday to Mexico last month. It was found by security officials at Cancun International Airport and Busch was detained by members of the Mexican National Guard, a press release from the Mexico Prosecutor General's office stated.
He was charged with possession of a firearm without a license and illegally possessing ammunition. A Mexican judge slapped him with a 42-month prison sentence and a small fine, though Busch was allowed to return to the US.
