Two NASCAR Officials Fired Over Racial Discrimination and Sexual Harassment

September 22, 2008

Two NASCAR officials have been fired as part of an ongoing, $225 million, racial and sexual discrimination lawsuit. The two employees, Tom Knox and Bud Moore, are accused by Mauricia Grant of “exposing themselves to her, and making graphic and lewd jokes,” according to the Associated Press.

Grant says in her lawsuit that she was hired “as a symbol of NASCAR’s newfound, purported commitment to diversity” and was regularly featured “at public out-reach programs designed to convince the media, corporate sponsors and others of the company’s diversity.”

Her suit names over 23 NASCAR employees, ranking from top to bottom within the organization, who allegedly participated in racial and sexual harassment and discrimination. In the lawsuit, most of the individuals are connected to the shocking racial epithets that they used. So far, Knox and Moore are the only two to have been let go.

It remains to be seen what will happen to the rest of the employees named in the lawsuit. Grant is asking for between $25 million and $50 million for seven different charges, for a total of $225 million.
