NASCAR Indecent Exposure Case Leads to Ban
Tim Knox and Bud Moore have been placed on indefinite administrative paid leave by NASCAR following allegations that they exposed themselves to a former employee, the Associated Press reports this weekend.
NASCAR will not reveal the identities of the officials sent home Friday from Kentucky Speedway, but a person familiar with the investigation confirmed to AP on Saturday that Knox and Moore were suspended. The person requested anonymity because NASCAR's investigation is ongoing.
Mauricia Grant filed her suit Tuesday, alleging 23 specific incidents of sexual harassment and 34 specific incidents of racial and gender discrimination during her time as a technical inspector for NASCAR's second-tier Nationwide Series.
