I would pay good money to see you take on a redneck with a tire iron.

I jabbed a wandering hand with a fork when I was 15. And it belonged to my boss's pervy son. He was just lucky that table I was clearing off hadn't ordered steak.

This could get fun.

NASCAR.COM - France speaks on former official's $225 mil. lawsuit - Jun 11, 2008

This is gonna get fun ... now Brian (insert country name here) has spoken.

"She didn't do that, and that's what every employee in NASCAR is instructed to do if they think they're in a situation of discrimination or harassment or whatever it might be," France said. "She just didn't do that -- and in fact has now filed a lawsuit as remedy to this problem. You know, we'll deal with that as well. And that's where we are at this time."

France said he did not see the lawsuit coming. "I knew about it this week when the suit was filed," France said.

France added that because Grant did not follow company policy about filing complaints, it was difficult for her superiors to know if she was upset about anything, and to weigh the validity of the accusations she eventually set forth in the lawsuit.

"Again, our policy is such that it's very clear," France said. "We talk to employees all the time about making sure the work environment is a good one. And if it's not, if there are any problems, that they have a very clear path to get it solved. This is just inconsistent with anything we would tolerate in NASCAR. Anything."

I used a large snowball to the genitals once when I was in the army. It had snowed and we were coming out of the chowhall and some turd said something vulgar to me. I made a softball sized snowball and called him out. He said the nasty thing again :blahblah: and I threw it like a fastball, as he jumped up and split his legs (this was in slow motion) It got him right where it counted, he was curled up before he hit the ground. I just kept on walking.
That woman should have said something right off the bat, or did something.

:lmao: That would be even funnier if you said you used to play fastpitch. A gal could do some real damage with a well executed windmill.

I think she did verbally complain to her immediate supervisor and he gave her the brush off. He allegedly was a participant at times. Maybe she thought a formal written complaint would hurt her chances of advancement? Would not surprise me one bit.

Ex-official sues NASCAR, claims racism taunts - Wire Services - Motors - MSNBC.com

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.”

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.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, lists 23 specific incidents of alleged sexual harassment and 34 specific incidents of alleged racial and gender discrimination beginning when she was hired in January 2005 thru her October 2007 firing.

NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the organization had not yet reviewed the suit.

“As an equal opportunity employer, NASCAR is fully committed to the spirit and letter of affirmative action law,” Poston said, adding NASCAR has a zero tolerance policy for harassment.

In the lawsuit, Grant said she complained numerous times to her supervisors about how she was treated, to no avail. On one occasion, Grant said Nationwide Series director Joe Balash, her immediate supervisor, was dismissive of her complaints, explaining her co-workers were “former military guys” with a rough sense of humor. “You just have to deal with it,” she says Balash told her.

Sounds like she just wants money. If she was having problems, she should of followed the company procedures to report them...

Most of the drivers nowadays are very athlethic.

Mark Martin was a huge fitness nut - had his own magazine back in the 1990s. Elliott Sadler used to play basketball, though I can't rememver off-head where. A good number of the pit crew members are former college and professional football (and other sports) players.

All of the Sprint Cup Series drivers (as do the Nationwide, Truck Series and ARCA drivers) have hardcore fitness regimines, just like your average football player. Only one it isn't helping is Tony Stewart. :killingme

Everytime someone says NASCAR isn't a sport or that drivers aren't athletes, it just irritates me. :mad:
