CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) - The son of wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan plans to drop his fight against reckless driving charges.

Nick Bollea could be sentenced to up to five years in state prison. The 17-year-old will be at the mercy of a judge who will decide his punishment at a hearing tomorrow.

Bollea was arrested in November and charged with felony reckless driving that caused a serious bodily injury. Authorities say the wrestler's son was street racing his father's 1998 Toyota Supra in August when he struck a curb, spun in traffic and slammed into a palm tree.

The impact critically injured Bollea's friend (John Graziano) who now needs lifetime medical care to deal with his injuries.

Bollea -- who was not hurt -- pleaded not guilty to the charge.
