Busch says he told ex to leave on night of alleged assault

DOVER, Del. — Kurt Busch has testified that he repeatedly told his ex-girlfriend to leave his motorhome the night she claims the NASCAR driver assaulted her.

Busch testified Wednesday in a hearing in which his ex-girlfriend is seeking a court order directing him to stay away from her.

Busch says Patricia Driscoll came to his motorhome uninvited and unannounced and demanded that he tell her son that their relationship was over.

Busch says while the two were in his bedroom, he again asked her to leave, for what he said was the 5th time. He says he cupped her cheeks in his hands, looked her in the eye and said, “you need to leave.” He says he was defusing the situation.

Busch also said Driscoll’s testimony a day earlier included fabrications.
