Driver Kurt Busch Suspended Indefinitely

NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Kurt Busch was suspended indefinitely on Friday, after a judge ruled that Busch choked and beat his ex-girlfriend last fall. Bush is accused of smashing former girlfriend Patricia Driscoll’s head against the wall of a motor home at Dover International Speedway in September. A Kent County, Delaware family court commissioner granted Driscoll a protective order on Monday. Busch’s attorney said in a statement, “We are extremely disappointed that NASCAR has suspended Kurt Busch. We assure everyone, including NASCAR, that this action against Mr. Busch will turn out to be a travesty of justice, apparent to all, as this story continues to unfold.”
