Kurt has a history of bad tempers, blow ups on camera, blow ups on the radio, cursing his car owner, almost running over a crew member in the pits. He got past a lot of that and cleaned up his act. This girl was smart. She knew his past and played him like a fiddle. He broke it off his relationship with her and she couldn't take it. A girlfriend of the alleged victim said that she would get back at him and ruin his career. Apparently, she did just what she said. Coming down hard on domestic violence is the society trend right now. NASCAR, Stewart-Haas, and Chevy had no choice but to do what they did. It was just what one of the other posters stated....he said, she said. To the best of my knowledge, there was no evidence that he caused injury. The judge said that his version of what happened was implausible. She claims he took his left hand and placed it on her neck, and took his right hand and smashed her head into the wall. Busch claims he cupped her face with his hands and asked her to leave. Gotta admit, that doesn't sound very Kurt Busch like. Judge basically said she sounded much more believable than Kurt. Judge also said that it doesn't make sense that Kurt is at a constant risk of injury, but fears Driscoll because of his claim that she was an assassin. The fact that Driscoll trespassed into his motorhome, and refused to leave after he told her numerous times to leave was never addressed. If he did it, then he got what he deserved, and should attend counseling. It sure sounds like she had a plan, and mentally and emotionally pushed his buttons in that motorhome to get him to lose his temper.
