Kurt Busch has been reinstated for all NASCAR-related activities following the announcement that he will not face criminal charges in Delaware.

Less than a week after the Delaware Attorney General’s office announced that they would not pursue criminal charges against the NASCAR Sprint Cup driver in an alleged incident of domestic violence, NASCAR has reinstated Kurt to allow him to drive the #41 Chevrolet in time for this weekend’s race at Phoenix International Raceway. However, he will be on indefinite probation.

NASCAR.com reports NASCAR executive vice-president and chief racing development officer Steve O’Donnell said; “As we stated last week, the elimination of the possibility of criminal charges removed a significant impediment to Kurt Busch’s return to full status as a NASCAR member. We therefore have decided to move him to indefinite probation and waive the Chase requirement. He has fully complied with our reinstatement program during his suspension and the health care expert who conducted his evaluation recommended his immediate return.”

O’Donnell added; “We have made it very clear to Kurt Busch our expectations for him moving forward, which includes participation in a treatment program and full compliance with all judicial requirements as a result of his off-track behavior.”
