Kurt Busch stands by court testimony that ex-girlfriend was an assassin

Despite its apparent outlandishness, Kurt Busch maintains he was telling the truth when he testified in a Delaware family court that his ex-girlfriend was an assassin who killed drug lords around the world.

“My right hand was on the Bible and I swore under oath to tell the truth,” Busch said Tuesday.

Without delving into specifics, Busch repeatedly denied the accusations he assaulted ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll in his motor home last September at Dover International Speedway. Driscoll alleges Busch slammed her head against the wall three times before she escaped.

Driscoll filed a complaint Nov. 5 and Dover Police concluded their investigation at the end of December, handing the case off to the Delaware Attorney General’s office for review. A decision is expected any day.

“It’s easy to sit here and feel refreshed about a season that’s upcoming because of standing on the truth,” Busch said. “We’ll see what the decision is whenever they make a decision.”

In addition to the police complaint, Driscoll is also seeking a separate protective order against Busch, a case still ongoing. It was during the hearing when Busch testified Driscoll was a trained government assassin and again denied striking Driscoll, who he broke up with a week before, with Driscoll testifying that Busch was battling depression and alcoholism.

Busch refuted both claims Tuesday, pointing to his 2014 accomplishments. In addition to winning the March Sprint Cup race at Martinsville Speedway, he also competed in the Indianapolis 500 for the first time, finishing sixth.

“Obviously, it would be difficult to have all those symptoms and race as well at the top levels,” Busch said.

As the saga has played out in the courtroom as well as through the media, Busch said everyone at Stewart-Haas Racing has been supportive and believes in his innocence.

“They know the truth, they know who I am,” Busch said.
