The caravan was moving through traffic at times in excess of 100 miles an hour with a police escort. The group of drivers, which included former New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, according to press reports, had also reportedly taped over their license plates.

The caravan, dubbed "Death Race 2012" by some drivers who captured the speeding cars on their phone cameras as they were stuck in traffic as the cars whizzed by, was traced by The Star-Ledger to The Driving Force Cub, an elite New York City-based group that advertises itself as being "for all car fanatics with a spice of racing and adrenaline rush to their hearts."

One of the State Troopers expected to be charged criminally, Sgt. 1st Class Nadir Nassry, has said through his attorney that he did not personally benefit from the incident, and supplied a polygraph test to that effect with his plea. He resigned Thursday.

State investigators are continuing the probe since it is hardly imaginable that police providing an unauthorized and improper escort for a group of wealthy luxury car owners to speed from Northern New Jersey to Atlantic City, a journey of 125 miles, without being compensated in some way under the table.
