Victoria Police spokeswoman Natalie Webster said Wangaratta police first spotted the vehicle allegedly travelling south at 199 km/h near Wangaratta just before 4.45am and radioed ahead to other units in Benalla and Seymour.
"Benalla police then sighted the vehicle allegedly travelling at 204km/h," Ms Webster said.
"The driver pulled into a service station at Euroa about 5am and was promptly arrested by police."
After returning a positive preliminary breath test, the 28-year-old NSW man was taken to Benalla police station where he returned a reading of 0.106 per cent, more than double the legal drink-drive limit of 0.05 per cent.
He has been charged with a range of traffic offences and bailed to appear at Benalla Magistrates Court on February 21.
