Deputies say they clocked Bosworth\u2019s Nissan going about 110 mph in a 45 mph zone. Bosworth was stopped on Highway 27, just north of County Road 48. <\/p>\n
Deputies say they clocked Signorino\u2019s Corvette going at 125 mph. They were able to stop him on Highway 27 just south of CR-48.<\/p>\n
Both men denied to deputies that they were street racing and said they did not know each other. Deputies say Bosworth did say he reacted after the Corvette swerved at him.<\/p>\n

Signorino also denied reaching 125 mph, because he claimed the Corvette was incapable of going that fast. <\/p>\n
However, deputies said when Signorino was asked by jail staff which car he was driving, he allegedly responded, \u201cthe one that won. The Corvette.\u201d<\/p>\n
