DOVER, Del. -- NASCAR driver Kurt Busch will not be charged in the case of alleged domestic abuse brought by his ex-girlfriend.
Delaware Attorney General Matt Denn's office declined to file charges stemming from a complaint filed last November by Patricia Driscoll.
NASCAR suspended the driver Feb. 20, two days before the Daytona 500, based on written arguments released around a protection order granted for Driscoll in a separate civil case.
There was no immediate word Thursday when Busch might be reinstated.
On Monday, the sanctioning body said Busch had agreed to terms to follow to begin the reinstatement process.
NASCAR races in Busch's hometown of Las Vegas this weekend. Regan Smith has been filling in in the No. 41 Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing.
Thursday's decision concludes a months-long investigation that has kept the NASCAR world guessing what would happen to the 2004 Cup champion known as "The Outlaw".
"After a thorough consideration of all of the available information about the case, it is determined that the admissible evidence and available witnesses would likely be insufficient to meet the burden of establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Busch committed a crime during the September 26th incident," Delaware Attorney General spokesman Carl Kanefsky said in an e-mailed statement. "Likelihood of meeting that high burden of proof is the standard for prosecutors in bringing a case. For this reason, the Department of Justice will not pursue criminal charges in this case."
Driscoll, president of the Armed Forces Foundation and a defense contractor, alleges Busch grabbed her by the throat and slammed her head three times against the bedroom wall of his motor home Sept. 26 during a race weekend at Dover International Speedway.
Jim Liguori, Busch's local attorney, said Thursday that the Attorney General's office came to the right conclusion.
"My hat is off to the Attorney General's office," he said. "They didn't take this lightly, and we appreciate that."
The NASCAR driver 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.
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.
Last month, Michael Doncheff, who served as a personal assistant to Busch and Driscoll, said an ailing Driscoll told him in September that she had been picked up by a big man and slammed to the ground while helping round up immigrants at the Mexican border, a story Doncheff considered "far-fetched."
