KYLE BUSCH
Current NASCAR
Thanks for that input, Will.
Seems sadly ironic that Patricia Driscoll's DC office is located just a block and a half from "The Spirit of Justice Park" . I've never been a Busch fan, but I'm not at all convinced justice has been served by NASCAR's ruling.
Kurt Busch suspended by NASCAR following domestic abuse allegations

Kurt Busch will not race in Sundays Daytona 500.
Kurt Busch is indefinitely suspended by NASCAR and will not be permitted to compete in Sunday's Daytona 500, the sport's marquee race.
Stewart-Haas Racing named Regan Smith to drive Busch's No. 41 in Sunday's race.
The suspension follows allegations Busch physically assaulted his former girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, who was issued an order of protection by a Delaware Family Court Monday. In issuing an order of protection, Commissioner David Jones determined evidence showed Busch grabbed Patricia Driscoll by the throat "manually strangling her" while placing his other hand on her hand and face and smashing her head against a wall.
The incident is alleged to have occurred in Busch's motor home Sept. 26 at Dover International Speedway. A criminal investigation is ongoing, with the Attorney General's office determining whether to file charges against Busch.
Busch has maintained innocence through the proceedings. His attorneys have attempted to portray Driscoll as a vengeful ex-girlfriend set on ruining Busch's career.
Citing new evidence Busch's attorney, Rusty Hardin, filed a motion to re-open the protection order case Thursday. Hardin contends Driscoll perjured herself during testimony and tampered with witnesses.

God bless you, Patsy and let the good Lord comfort you.
Thanks for the heads up, Devin. A heartfelt prayer is going out to Patsy for Tony and their family.
