"Grant v NASCAR--The Answer"
I have a copy of the sanctioning body's answer to the allegations of Mauricia Grant, which was filed today 8/8/2008 in the US Federal Court for the Southern District of NY, which is in Manhattan. Here's the short take:
The sanctioning body denies all of Ms. Grant's allegations. The answer suggests that NASCAR's counsel will want to file for a change of venue, if the case is tried. The answer also asks Judge Batts to dismiss the case in its entirety and have the Plaintiff reimburse the Defendant (NASCAR) for its legal fees.
We're still trying to get an interview with Ms Grant, or absent that, one of her attorneys. To be fair, we're also asking for input from NASCAR's attorneys. We think Ms Grant won't be available for a while, thanks to the revelations about her past driving record and encounters with the LA County (California) Justice system mentioned in the AP stories which appeared on August 7th. Interesting how coincidences occur.

Seems to me that smearing Ms. Grant's reputation doesn't have anything to do with the allegations she made against Nascar. As far as the DUI...how close did Brian France get to that palm tree in Daytona? Something about glass houses...
