I'm pretty sure Kurt Busch is going to be cleared of all wrong doing because everyone testifying has countered that woman's psychotic story.

The case might even be finished and publicly announced the results later today...
 
And it just got crazier:

Busch claims ex-girlfriend is an assassin

Busch went on to describe instances in which Driscoll allegedly returned from missions, sometimes with bruises.
On one occasion, he said, the pair were in El Paso, Texas, when she went out wearing camouflage and boots, and returned later wearing a trench coat over a blood-spattered nightgown.

For the record, Orange Cone tweeted earlier that "According to those close to the situation, it is expected that the PPO will be granted and that Kurt will likely face suspension by NASCAR."
 
For those that don't know what a PPO is: Basically it's just a nice letter that says not to attack or stalk a person.
Which is funny because you aren't supposed to regardless.
Kurt's legal team thinks that if an assault case goes to trial he's getting exonerated though, according to Cone
 
I'm leaning towards this not working (pit road thing), but I want to see how it does first before I give an opinion
 
Bit of a funny thing with the Busch story: on the radio this morning, they spoke briefly about it, and the one host said something like "We all know how insane the Busch brothers can be" or something like that.
 
Thing is, I as well as many people have been suspicious of Patricia and her odd timing of doing just before the season ended and the fact that there is now instances of her making these big claims, showing people pictures and even that video I showed (where she calls herself "Commando Mommy") just makes her abuse claim even more questionable and just strengthens my suspicion that she just wants attention.



Edit:

JR Motorsports announces limited schedule for Custer

A new challenger appears for NASCAR games
Here is a letter released from DMI on Saturday, unfortunately, we are going to have to wait another year for their game, which appears to be on current gen, and ETX is going to release NASCAR 15 (from what the letter says, a carbon copy of the last game) and will be on last gen (information is shown in bold)

--------------------------------
January 17, 2015
"Hello NASCAR fans! My name is Ed Martin and I am the President of DMi, Inc.

Who are you? What is DMi? What about Eutechnyx? Tell me what is going on! Well, all of that and more is what I hope to address with this first open letter to the community.

Who are you?
Some of you reading this might know me as I have been involved in NASCAR video games for many years. But let me introduce (or re-introduce) myself. I started in the early 1990’s at Papyrus – before the first NASCAR Racing PC game was ever released (PlayStation’s & Xbox’s didn’t exist back then). From there, I went on to Hasbro Interactive. Then EA Sports. Most recently, I have been managing the business side of Eutechnyx’ NASCAR games.

What (who) is DMi?
As of January 1, 2015, DMi became NASCAR’s exclusive licensee for video games and digital entertainment. It is a deal that had been in the works for several months. But it was something that could not be disclosed until everything was finalized. And by “everything”, I mean a very long and complex set of negotiations and agreements. Just to give you some context, a contemporary NASCAR video game has over 1,000 licensed and approved properties in it. That’s a lot of stakeholders and people to get organized!

DMi’s CEO is Tom Dusenberry. Tom was the founder & President of Hasbro Interactive – which is where we met several years ago. Tom has an incredible background in publishing and interactive entertainment. He is also a HUGE NASCAR fan!

DMi has a long-term license with NASCAR to develop & publish a wide range of games across pretty much any interactive entertainment platform you can imagine – including console, PC and mobile. Our focus is on quality games for NASCAR fans and a wide range of different types of games for all NASCAR fans. We are based in Charlotte, North Carolina - right in the heart of NASCAR-country.

We are already hard at work on several new games including an all-new NASCAR racing sim created by DMi for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC that we expect to release in 2016. Stay tuned for further information on that and other DMi games coming your way!

What about Eutechnyx?
Eutechnyx has been NASCAR’s licensee for video games since 2010. As part of our deal, DMi acquired certain NASCAR-related assets from Eutechnyx including core art assets such as tracks and cars. These provide DMi a starting place as we create our new games. We also acquired some existing NASCAR games – including NASCAR Manager, which we will be re-releasing soon.

Prior to the DMi transaction, Eutechnyx was working on a 2015 update to their NASCAR ’14 game (“NASCAR ’15”). It is not an all-new game but rather a season update to the existing game along with some fixes. That game will be released this Spring - online only – for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. But it will not be a DMi game; the first DMi sim game will be in 2016 as mentioned above. Stay tuned for more information on that as well.

Tell me what is going on!
Well, hopefully, I just did. At least an introductory part of it. I apologize that there wasn’t any notice or a lot of information released previously. It truly was a secret that had to be kept until all facets of the deals were complete – which all came together on New Years Eve. At that point, the NASCAR-related web sites that were online had to be closed as DMi took over the NASCAR license from Eutechnyx. Now that we are back to work after the holidays, we’re finally in a position to start releasing information about our new company."

This is encouraging. It seems this bunch actually wants to do good. As for 2016, if it ends up like the Eutechnyx stuff, they'll be grilled, if it's so good it put's NR2003 into retirement, they'll be forgiven for ever, and even if it's better than mediocre, reasonable people will react just so.
 
Oh.. but she claimed a Hollywood movie was partially based on her life.. forget the title of what the movie was though. :lol:

Probably The Long Kiss Goodnight?

Was watching telly today - some NASCAR bytes - and when they were talking about it this movie came to mind.

____________

Going to be interesting to see how that tapered spacer will impact on HP and overall racing.
