Nick Bollea talks about speeding in his Viper

Nick Bollea, the 17-year-old son of wrestler Hulk Hogan, talked to Rides magazine about his driving record, his cars and getting pulled over three times in his silver Dodge Viper for driving over 100 mph on his trip from Miami to Tampa. Read that story here.

Bollea, crashed his yellow Toyota Supra in Clearwater Sunday night. His passenger, Iraq war veteran and U.S. Marine John J. Graziano, 22, remains in critical condition at Bayfront Medical Center.

Witnesses said they saw Bollea racing a silver Dodge Viper moments before the crash. Clearwater police spokesman, Wayne Shelor, said investigators interviewed the driver of a silver Viper at the scene of the crash but would not release the driver's name or who owned the car. He did say that Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was not in the Viper.

No charges have yet been filed. A phone call to the attorney representing Nick Bollea was not returned Thursday.
