Sprint Cup driver Kurt Busch has been suspended indefinitely for actions detrimental to stock car racing, NASCAR announced Friday.

Earlier Friday it was ruled that Busch smashed his ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll's head against his motor home wall Sept. 26 at Dover International Speedway, according to the conclusions of a Kent County (Del.) family court commissioner who granted Driscoll's request for a protective order Monday.

"Given the serious nature of the findings and conclusions made by the Commissioner of the Family Court of the State of Delaware, NASCAR has indefinitely suspended driver Kurt Busch, effective immediately," NASCAR said in a statement. "He will not be allowed to race nor participate in any NASCAR activities until further notice.

"Kurt Busch and his Stewart-Haas Racing team are fully aware of our position and why this decision was made. We will continue to respect the process and timetable of the authorities involved."

Busch was scheduled to race Sunday at Daytona International Speedway, where he was slated to start 24th in the Daytona 500, the sport's biggest event.

Think more than anything this is a result of our culture's view on domestic violence right now. Not even proved guilty yet and suspended-case is a giant mess anyways

2 days before Daytona? Really? I'm not a Kurt fan but someone wasn't to happy he called out his ex as an assassin, which was probably true. He blew her cover and now she is taking him down.
