Advocacy group America First Legal (AFL) filed a complaint against NASCAR on Thursday, accusing the company of enforcing racial and sex-based discrimination in employment.

The complaint was filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against NASCAR and Rev Racing, a “NASCAR-supported racing team charged with developing female and minority drivers,” according to a Nov. 2 complaint sent by AFL to the EEOC.
