NASCAR has suspended driver Kurt Busch for an indefinite period of time, effective immediately, which means he will not be in Sunday’s Daytona 500.
The announcement comes hours after Busch has a restraining order placed on him by a judge who says he lied under oath in his domestic violence case.
Busch’s ex-gf Patricia Driscoll got a restraining order last week, and in new docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, the judge explains why he ruled against Busch.
According to the docs .. Busch came off like he had practiced reciting his version of what happened during the alleged incident last September … in a very specific order. Anytime he was asked to break from that “memorized” order of events … he got flustered.
The judge said “an honest witness” should be remember the truth in any sequence.
After those findings, Nascar hammered Busch:
“Given the serious nature of the findings and conclusions made by the Commissioner of the Family Court of the State of Delaware, NASCAR has indefinitely suspended Kurt Busch, effective immediately,” NASCAR said in a statement. “He will not be allowed to race nor participate in any NASCAR activities until further notice.”
