Closing statements filed in Busch hearing

Driscoll and Busch

Attorneys filed their closing arguments Tuesday in the no-contact order hearing involving NASCAR's Kurt Busch.

The written summations mark the closing stages of an atypical hearing that heard testimony from Busch's ex-girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, who alleged the driver smashed her head against the wall three times during a September race weekend in Dover, and from Busch, who claimed Driscoll was a trained assassin who could take him down at any moment.

Busch's legal camp have long denied Driscoll's allegations and instead claimed she was a jilted ex-lover who was determined to ruin the driver's career. On the stand Busch contended that he never slammed her head, never grabbed her by the throat or pushed her head against the wall. Instead, he says he cupped her face and told her to leave.

Driscoll – who owns her own defense company and runs the Armed Forces Foundation – has said Busch's claims that she was an assassin were ludicrous and were an attempt to destroy her credibility.

Driscoll requested that Busch stay away from her and not contact her. She is also asking for Busch to undergo a psychiatric evaluation and be assessed by a certified domestic violence treatment agency, according to the court filings.

Dover Police Department closed their investigation into the incident last December and turned it over to the state Attorney General's office. The office has not yet announced a decision on the allegations.
