The NASCAR racer known as "The Outlaw" testified Tuesday he believes his ex-girlfriend is a trained assassin dispatched on covert missions around the world who once returned to him in a blood-splattered gown.
"Everybody on the outside can tell me I'm crazy, but I lived on the inside and saw it firsthand," Kurt Busch said when his attorney, Rusty Hardin, questioned why he still believed Patricia Driscoll is a hired killer.
In an interview late Tuesday, Driscoll called Busch's assertion "ludicrous," saying he took it "straight from a fictional movie script" she has been working on for eight years and that he has proofread.
In an interview late Tuesday, Patricia Driscoll, seen in May with ex-boyfriend Kurt Busch, called his assertion that she was a covert assasin "ludicrous," saying he took it "straight from a fictional movie script" she has been working on.
Busch, appearing in court again over Driscoll's request for a no-contact order, continued the push of his legal team to discredit his ex as a scorned woman out to destroy his career, portraying her as a character fit for a screenplay.
Busch said Driscoll repeatedly asserted her assassin status and claimed the work took her on missions across Central and South America and Africa.
He recounted one time when the couple was in El Paso, Texas. He said Driscoll left in camouflage gear only to return later wearing a trench coat over an evening gown covered with blood.
A day earlier, Busch said his ex-girlfriend told him she was a mercenary who killed people for a living and had shown him pictures of bodies with gunshot wounds.
Busch said Tuesday that Driscoll had claimed that a female character in "Zero Dark Thirty," a film depicting the CIA's hunt for Osama bin Laden, was a composite of her and other women.

Well, somebody got a good batch of drugs.
If she was a trained assassin, I don't think he would be alive.
Nuts, I tells ya. They are all nuts.
How does anybody in that courtroom keep a straight face?

(17,111 posts)it's the offseason and I'm not sure of the regimen.
If he really believes that, I'd worry about racing someone with that mindset.
1-If he really believed her, he's nuts. Hire a detective and find out.
2-If he didn't believe her but stayed with her, he's even crazier.
3-She either knew she had a live one or she's nuts.

(725 posts)Obviously, I know what a NASCAR driver is so I looked her up and found a Wiki page which begins:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Driscoll_%28Armed_Forces_Foundation%29
lol
Goes on to call her his girlfriend so dunno why the reference about her being married to him.
Your OP article said he's not the only one to whom she made this about being assassin so I would be inclined to believe him. Who in the hell would make up some crazy shit like that? It would only serve to make him look like the nut.
Judging by the Wiki page, she appears to be obsessed with the military and is using charitable work and books about wounded veterans to position herself for contracts with Homeland Security.
I'd love to know her background.

(17,111 posts)She could tell a billion people she was an assassin but that wouldn't make it so. As I said, hire a detective and find out. Why believe her?

(17,111 posts)I don't doubt she said or did some weird shite. That doesn't make it true.
BTW trained assassins don't talk about their 'jobs.' If they do they likely aren't trained, assassins or both.
