CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Kurt Busch is confident he is in line for his best NASCAR season ever despite a domestic violence case that could keep him off the track.

Busch said Tuesday at NASCAR’s annual media tour he is eager for a resolution to the highly-publicized case involving ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll, who claims Busch assaulted her in his motorhome at Dover International Speedway last September.

Driscoll claims Busch slammed her head into a wall three times.

Busch has steadfastly denied the allegations, repeating again Tuesday “it’s a matter of seeing through things and understanding truth.” He has not been charged by authorities, but the Delaware Attorney General’s office still has the investigation.

Busch wouldn’t say if he’s heard from NASCAR about a possible suspension.
