NASCAR settles discrimination lawsuit

December 19, 2008

The $225 million lawsuit that a former NASCAR inspector filed against the stock-car racing organization has been settled.The suit, which was filed in June, was reportedly settled at a mediation Dec. 3 in New York City.

As part of the agreement to settle the suit, which was filed by Mauricia Grant, terms of the settlement were not made public. Neither Grant nor NASCAR admitted liability or wrongdoing in the settlement. Grant, who is black, alleged in her suit that she had been subjected to racial discrimination and sexual harassment during the almost three racing seasons she worked for NASCAR.

“We’re glad to have the case settled on mutually acceptable terms,” NASCAR managing director of corporate communications Ramsey Poston said in a statement. “NASCAR remains dedicated to maintaining a professional work environment for all employees at all times and we wish Ms. Grant well in her future endeavors.”
