NASCAR Driver Calls Assault Charges "Fabrication"

nascar.com

NASCAR driver Kurt Busch says there is no truth to allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend Patricia Driscoll at the Dover International Speedway.

Busch took the stand yesterday during the second day of a hearing in Kent County Family Court.

Driscoll is seeking a court order to keep the race car driver from having any contact with her.

The alleged assault was supposed to have occurred inside Busch’s motorhome and is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation by the Dover Police Department.

On Tuesday Driscoll testified that Busch grabbed her by the throat and face smashing her head into the wall three times.

Busch calls the allegation a complete fabrication.
