AVONDALE, Ariz. -- The Dover (Del.) Police Department is investigating an allegation of domestic assault that involves NASCAR driver Kurt Busch.
In a statement, the Dover police said the allegations were brought at 2 p.m. Wednesday. The department said it would not comment further while it is still investigating the victim's claims.
According to the Associated Press, his ex-girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, said the allegations involved an incident inside his motorhome at a race. The NASCAR circuit was in Dover during the Sept. 26-28 weekend.
Driscoll heads the Armed Forces Foundation.
According to the Associated Press, Driscoll has filed court documents requesting Busch stay away from her and her son Houston. She also wants the driver to be evaluated by a psychiatrist and a certified domestic violence treatment agency.
The documents, filed Wednesday, indicated Busch was upset Sept. 26 after a poor qualifying run to set up the first Chase for the Sprint Cup elimination race.
"He was verbally abusive to her and said he wished he had a gun so that he could kill himself," the documents say.
According to the documents, Driscoll said Busch, 36, was verbally abusive and accused her of "having spies everywhere and having a camera on the bus to watch him."
He grabbed her face and smashed her head three times against the wall next to the bed, the documents say.
Driscoll, 36, says she pushed the 2004 Sprint Cup champion away from her and fled the bedroom, taking safety in a neighboring motorhome where she put an ice pack on her head and neck. She said the incident resulted in severe pain, difficulty breathing and neck bruising.
A hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 2.
The allegations come on the heels of several high-profile cases in major sports involving domestic abuse.
NASCAR said it is aware of the investigation involving Busch, 36, who has not been charged.
"We recognize the seriousness of this matter and are actively gathering information from all parties, including law enforcement authorities and Stewart-Haas Racing," NASCAR chief communications officer Brett Jewkes said. "It would be inappropriate for NASCAR to comment further on this matter until we have more information."
Last October, NASCAR did not take action against Sprint Cup driver Travis Kvapil, who was arrested and charged with false imprisonment and assault after a domestic violence situation at his home. He was allowed to race that weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Kvapil was eventually placed on two years' probation and ordered to perform community service.
