Kurt Busch Ordered to Stay Away from Ex

(WILMINGTON, De.) — The arduous hearing between Kurt Busch and ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll has reached its conclusion.
Delaware Family Court Commissioner David Jones ruled Monday that Busch must remain 100 yards away from Driscoll and maintain a “practicable” distance away from her at NASCAR events. He is also ordered not contact her for any reason.
Additionally, Jones ordered that Busch undergo psychiatric counseling “for mental health problems related to anger control and impulse control.”
Driscoll tweeted Monday afternoon: “From my lawyer: GOT IT!!! Order for finding of Abuse entered today Opinion with supplemental findings to be available on Friday #ThankYouGod.”
The tweet was later deleted.
NASCAR released a statement after the ruling: “NASCAR has been closely following the civil proceedings in Kent County (Del.) Family Court regarding driver Kurt Busch and therefore is aware of the court order issued today. We now await the full findings of the Commissioner and any actions by the Attorney General of Delaware related to the allegations against Busch.”
“As we stated earlier, NASCAR fully recognizes the serious nature of this specific situation and the broader issue of domestic violence. We will continue to gather information and monitor this situation very closely, and we expect our members to conduct themselves properly,” the statement concluded.
