DETROIT – Stunt drivers have stopped traffic on Detroit highways multiple times in the past year, forcing police to crack down – now they’re also hoping to find a safe place for drivers to legally show off their skills, FOX 2 Detroit reports.

Stunts in recent months have resulted in several arrests, charges and tickets for reckless driving and fleeing and eluding, the report said.

Social media posts point to group TSNLS. The group was part of a joint interview with Detroit Police Chief James Craig on FOX 2 on Sunday. Craig said the group reached out to him to create a legal place for stunt driving. He said Sacramento and Kansas City have successfully done this. Craig is working to acquire property on Detroit’s east side for this purpose and is in talks with Detroit automakers to build a road course.

Craig’s main concern is that an onlooker or driver could be seriously injured or killed, the report said.

One of the drivers from a stunt on I-94 last year was recently caught driving on a suspended license while awaiting sentencing for charges related to the incident. 22-year-old Devin Ray Cronk was remanded by the judge in the case who raised his bail to $5,000 and is now requiring him to wear a tether.

The I-94 incident was the second on a Detroit-area freeway that was shared on social media last year.
