DOVER, Del. (AP) - Police in Delaware say they are investigating a domestic assault allegation made against NASCAR driver Kurt Busch.
The Dover Police Department said in a statement Friday that the allegations were brought to the department on Wednesday. His ex-girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, said the allegations involved an incident inside his motorhome at a race.
NASCAR said it was aware of the situation, and gathering information. Busch has not been charged.
Known as "The Outlaw" in racing circles, Busch is the 2004 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion and one of the more accomplished drivers in the series. He also has a history of run-ins on and off the track with drivers and NASCAR officials.
He was in his car practicing Friday for this weekend's race at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona.
