Oftentimes life is stranger than fiction, but this one seems to be coming straight out of a Hollywood film script. Kind of a Mr. and Ms. Smith story, only Mr. Smith’s sole profession is that of a NASCAR driver.
Kurt Busch, a NASCAR racer, has testified in the Kent County Family Court on Tuesday, January 13, that his ex-girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, had told him that her profession was killing people for a living!
“Everyone on the outside can tell me I’m crazy, but I live on the inside and say it firsthand”, Busch reportedly said answering a question from his own attorney, Rusty Hardin.
Furthermore, according to Autosport, he recounted certain incidents when Driscoll returned from her missions, sometimes with bruises. On one particular occasion, Busch claimed, the pair was in El Paso, Texas. Driscoll went out in camouflage and boots and returned wearing a blood-splattered night dress under a trench coat.
During the trial Driscoll did not refute the charges, although outside of court she told Associated Press “I find it interesting some of the outlandish claims come straight from a fictional movie script I’ve been working on for eight years”.
The hearing concerned Driscoll’s request for a no-contact order. Meanwhile, there’s another investigation going on about whether Busch had physically assaulted Driscoll, as she claims.
