Local NASCAR team sued by former employee

A former employee of Joe Gibbs Racing filed a lawsuit against the local organization last month, seeking damages in excess of $25,000.

Kimberly Pedersen on Aug. 28 filed the complaint alleging unjust enrichment by JGR, Mecklenburg County court records show.

Pedersen alleges she performed both roles but was only compensated for her position as chief flight attendant.
