ALMANOR, California — This is a bit bewildering…NASCAR has fired the two officials it previously put on leave, while it investigated the charges that brought a $225 million sexual/racial discrimination lawsuit against it.

Now NASCAR spokesman, Ramsey Potson, has said that after NASCAR completed its internal investigation it found and denies any wrongdoing.

Poston refused to comment on why the two NASCAR employees were fired.

So what do you suppose that is all about? If NASCAR suspended the two men, Tim Knox and Bud Moore, it had to have good reason. There had to be some suspicions.

The suspensions and eventual firings were a direct result of the lawsuit brought on by Mauricia Grant.

So if NACAR found that yes, these men did make comments and did do the things Grant accused them of, then suspending and firing them was right.

But if it was right…how come NASCAR admits no wrong?

It is almost predictable that NASCAR will come out at sometime in the future, maybe when pushed by the court, to say that although the men were suspended for suspicions surrounding the lawsuit, during the interneral investigation other things came to light that lead to their terminations. NASCAR will need to clarify that it was not for anything related to the sexual/racial discrimination suit, but due to separate wrongdoings that surfaced because of the investigation.

Another former NASCAR employee, Dean Duckett, also claims he was racially discriminated against by NASCAR and has brought a lawsuit against them.

Will Knox and Moore be next to bring a lawsuit?
