NASCAR champ Kurt Busch claims ex-girlfriend is a 'trained assassin'

American stock car racing driver Kurt Busch has claimed that his former girlfriend is a trained assassin and revealed that she once returned to a Texas hotel room wearing a blood-spattered evening gown.

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) champion has told a court that his ex-girlfriend, who is seeking a protective order against him, is a trained assassin.

Busch said that Patricia Driscoll was sent on secret missions across Central and South America and Africa. However, Driscoll laughed of Busch's claims saying that his testimony was ludicrous and inspired by a fictional movie script she has been working on, Sky News reported.

Driscoll has alleged in a criminal complaint that Busch slammed her head against the bedroom wall of his motor-home at Dover International Speedway, Delaware, which the NASCAR champion has denied.

The driver, a winner of 25 races and the 2004 NASCAR champion, said that one night when he and Driscoll were at a hotel in Texas she went out in camouflage and boots and returned wearing a trench coat. He claimed that underneath, Driscoll was wearing an evening gown splattered with blood and other matter.

Busch told a Delaware family court hearing that everyone on the outside can tell him that he is crazy, but claimed that he lived it on the inside. During his testimony, he also asserted that his ex-girlfriend had shown him pictures of bodies with gunshot wounds.

Busch also insisted that a female character in the film Zero Dark Thirty, about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, was partly based on Driscoll.
