Mauricia Grant Suing NASCAR

Mauricia Grant who is a technical inspector for NASCAR and aspiring racing official, is currently suing NASCAR for $225 million behind claims of racial and sexual discrimination/harassment and wrongful termination.

1. Grant was forced to work outside more often than the white male officials because her supervisors believed she couldn’t sunburn because she was black.


2. While riding in the backseat of her car pool at Talladega Superspeedway, co-workers told her to duck as they passed race fans. “I don’t want to start a riot when these fans see a black woman in my car,” she claims one official said.


3. When packing up a dark garage at Texas Motor Speedway an official told Grant: “Keep smiling and pop your eyes out ’cause we can’t see you.”


4. When she ignored advances from co-workers, Grant was accused of being gay. She also claimed co-workers questioned the sexual orientation of two other female officials.


5. One official asked Grant: “Does your workout include an urban obstacle course with a flat-screen TV on your back?”
