Kurt Busch

Ashley Van Metre has filed for divorce from racing driver Kurt Busch after more than five years of marriage – but what does her term "tortious act" mean?

A person found to have used this harmful behaviour has committed a ‘ tortious act‘ and can be legally liable. She is the daughter of real estate chairman Albert ‘Beau’ Van Metre Jr and married Kurt in 2017. Let’s take a look…

NASCAR racer Kurt Busch and Ashley Busch are getting a divorce, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports.

After a little more than 5 years of marriage, NASCAR star Kurt Busch and his wife Ashley Busch are going their separate ways.

Ashley also added that the ceremony was "truly a fairytale." On the heels of their fifth wedding anniversary this past February, Ashley commemorated the occasion by sharing a photo of her and Kurt together to her social media. In the documents, Ashley stated that their relationship came to a head in early April, claiming that Kurt "cut off her access to their joint banking account, credit cards and all other forms of support."

Sunday's victory at Kansas in a Toyota means NASCAR Cup Series veteran Kurt Busch has won with four different manufacturers.

His first victories came in 2002 in a Roush Racing Ford. He moved to Penske Racing in 2006 and began winning in the No. 2 Dodge. Then, Busch landed on a trio of different Chevy teams in three years. Kurt Busch will enter the NASCAR Hall of Fame, with the only question being whether it’s on the first ballot. One of the predictions about the Next Gen car in the NASCAR Cup Series has been accurate: The outnumbered Toyota teams have struggled. But when 27- and 28-year-olds are making their presence felt, it means they made it to the NASCAR Cup Series after an important player left: And that player was Chrysler. The persistent, focused Kurt Busch is easier to like than the cantankerous, off-putting version from his younger days. They’ll all have to drive that much harder after the All-Star Race to lock down one of the 16 playoff spots.

He is a full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver for 23XI Racing, driving the No. 45 Toyota Camry TRD. He is the 2004 NASCAR Cup Series champion, the 2017 Daytona 500 ...

In response to a reporter’s question about the rivalry, Busch lost his cool and had to be forcibly restrained. He didn’t return to the top ten until the 2005 season when he was tenth in points. Through his racing career and sponsorships, he made a lot of money. During the 2011 Richmond Races, he collided with driver Jimmie Johnson by mistake, prompting Johnson to retaliate the next race. Aside from notable wins and excellent finishes, Busch’s standing in the championship standings was erratic. He finished the year in third place in points and had earned more than $5 million. In 1998, he was voted Rookie of the Year in the Auto Zone Elite Division Southwest Series. He won the Southwest Tour Championship with the Star Nursery team in 1999. He has made the same amount of money from endorsements. Winning a pole means winning a qualifying race and gaining a better starting position in the main event. His father encouraged him to pursue his racing dreams and permitted him to compete as long as he maintained high grades. His father worked as a salesperson, and his mother as a teacher. He stayed for less than a year before leaving to pursue his racing career.

Kurt Busch and Ashley Busch celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary months before she filed for divorce — details.

“It really allowed my sister-and-law [Samantha Busch] and I to get so much closer and do a bunch of fun things with Kurt and Kyle [Busch],” Ashley told FOX5 Las Vegas in September 2020. “Five years ago we were married on this special island, St Barths you have our hearts 🤍,” she captioned a romantic snapshot of Kurt gazing into her eyes as she leaned her back against a wall. E! News reported on Wednesday, May 18, that Ashley claimed Kurt “cut off her access to their joint banking account, credit cards and all other forms of support” before he “demanded she leave the family home by the first week of June, even though he has another home in which he can reside.”

Kurt Busch delivered 23XI Racing their second ever NASCAR Cup Series victory in Sunday afternoon's race at Kansas Speedway.

Prior to his arrival, the team had never finished higher than 24th in the owner standings, and they had just three top five finishes over eight seasons. Indeed, that is exactly what Busch has done. The 43-year-old Las Vegas, Native native pulled off the historic achievement in just his 13th start for Toyota with the Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan-owned team, a team which only entered the Cup Series at the start of the 2021 season as a single-car team with Bubba Wallace behind the wheel of the #23 Toyota.
