As an aspiring racing official, Mauricia Grant had grown used to working in a man's world.
When she finally made it into NASCAR, Grant was appalled at the way she was treated beginning from her first day on the job until her firing last October.
Now she's suing NASCAR for $225 million, alleging racial and sexual discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination.
"I loved it. It was a great, exciting, adrenaline-filled job where I worked with fast cars and the best drivers in the world," Grant told The Associated Press. "But there was an ongoing daily pattern [of harassment]. It was the nature of the people I worked with, the people who ran it, it trickled down from the top.
"It's just the way things are in the garage," she said.
The 32-year-old Grant, who is black, worked as a technical inspector responsible for certifying cars in NASCAR's second-tier Nationwide Series from January 2005 until her termination. In the lawsuit, she alleged she was referred to as "Nappy Headed Mo" and "Queen Sheba" by co-workers, was often told she worked on "colored people time" and was frightened by one official who routinely made references to the Ku Klux Klan.
In addition, Grant said she was subjected to sexual advances from male co-workers, two of whom allegedly exposed themselves to her, and graphic and lewd jokes.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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."

you gotta remember tho this shit happened with college football 50 years ago. People was in the ole miss stadium each with a confederate flag cheering on archie manning as they took on some of the first blacks every in sec then took on a loaded USC team with a mostly black backfield. Shit was crazy then.
While white folks wont be caught dead at a nationally or cable telivised event like that its more hidden but its still there. But as hurdles get broken things will change.

The only racing I watch is the European Touring cars.
Good luck to him though. NASCAR boring to me no matter who is driving.

More Black people would be into it if it was more of a west coast or east coast thing. But since it is centralized in the south. Black people think to themselves, "Aint no damn way I am going to a race in Talladega Alabama surrounded by 100,000 drunk country white people."

Let him have a little bit of success and watch how much attention and fame he gets
Then watch how the "core" fanbase of NASCAR will say how he's only getting the notoriety because of the color of his skin and how other drivers been doing the same thing for years and don't get as much attention.
And then niggas will cry racism......sounds familiar?
