NASCAR Suspension - Kurt Busch Domestic Assault November 7, 2014

Busch was born in LasVegas, NV. Busch has a documented history of verbally abusing members of his team and the media. Busch revealed that he has been working with a sports psychologist for two months, to work on "personal issues" according to interviews during the 2011 NASCAR Championship week. Busch is also an avid baseball fan and stated the goal of visiting every ballpark nationwide. His favorite baseball team is the Chicago Cubs.
On Friday, November 7, 2014, it was reported that Busch was under investigation for domestic assault for an incident on September 26, 2014 in Dover, Delaware. The incident in question involved Busch's ex-girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll inside a motorhome at Dover International Speedway. On February 16, 2015, Busch was given a no-contact order by a Dover judge. Busch was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR February 20, 2015. On March 5, 2015 the Delaware attorney general's office decided that there was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges for domestic violence. NASCAR however did not lift the suspension choosing to continue a reinstatement program agreed upon by Busch. The official statement from NASCAR read "He has accepted the terms and conditions of a reinstatement program and is actively participating in the program. Busch's eligibility for reinstatement will continue to be governed by that program and the NASCAR rule book, though the elimination of the possibility of criminal charges certainly removes a significant impediment to his reinstatement." Personal feuds and controversies/conflicts in the sport are too numerous to mention. Busch became engaged to girlfriend Eva Bryan while attending the 2005 Hungarian Grand Prix. On July 27, 2006, three years to the day of them meeting on a blind date, they were married in Virginia. The footage was taped and later aired on national television. Busch announced on June 30, 2011, "Those in the NASCAR community have been aware for some time now that we are no longer together and we are legally separated".
