In a story that is breaking now, NASCAR has suspended Stewart-Haas racing driver Kurt Busch indefinitely, “for actions detrimental to stock car racing.”
This comes in the wake of a restraining order granted to Busch’s ex-girlfriend, Patty Driscoll, on Monday. The other shoe dropped this afternoon when Kent County, Delaware, court commissioner David Jones released a written opinion on the matter in which he stated:
“
“It is more probably than not that on Sept. 26, 2014, (Busch) committed an act of abuse against (Driscoll) by manually strangling (Driscoll) with his left hand on her throat whilst placing his proper hand against her chin and face, causing her head to forcefully strike the interior wall of (Busch’s) motor property, thereby recklessly causing physical injury to (Driscoll).”
”
The September incident allegedly took place in Busch’s motorhome at Dover International Speedway.

At this time, there’s no statement from Busch or Stewart-Haas Racing, although the team is stated to have a contingency program in location for Sunday’s Daytona 500.
In the court proceedings top up to Driscoll being granted the order of protection, Busch famously made news when he claimed, below oath, that Driscoll was a trained assassin.
A version of this story initially appeared on roadandtrack.com by means of SB Nation.
