Street racing is a class B misdemeanor, with maximum punishment of a $2,000 fine, 180 days in jail and driver’s license suspension.

Repeat offenders can be charged with a second degree felony, which could result in up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

In street racing, passengers can be punished as severely as the driver. Spectators can also be fined.

The crime also becomes a felony if the street racing results in serious bodily injury or death.
