(WISH) – Another CEO heads to Capitol Hill and is certain to face hard questions, and NASCAR has been hit with a lawsuit over racial discrimination.

The head of Mylan Pharmaceuticals, the company that makes and sells the EpiPen, will be on Capitol Hill Wednesday.

Heather Bresch said it’s not true the company makes big profits of off its lifesaving allergy treatment.

Bresch’s written statements said Mylan makes about $50 off each pen after rebates, fees and other costs are deducted.

In other business headlines, NASCAR is being sued for allegedly trying to hinder efforts to bring racial diversity to the racing world.

Terrance Cox III, the CEO of Diversity Motorsports claims that NASCAR refused to work with him and tried to prevent him from increasing the number of African Americans in the sport.

Cox is seeking $500 million in damages.

NASCAR denies discrimination and said in a statement that Cox’s suit is an attempt to gain publicity, and that it would pursue action against cox for defamation.

Each race team has to get its own sponsors. NASCAR does not provide sponsors. Unlike affirmative action, you have to actually succeed in NASCAR.

So now you can’t choose who you want to partner up and do business with, if they are blacks.

Forget he offered a sh1t deal, or one that really didnt help nascar out, but really helped out this nobody.

The NBA could be sued for its lack of diversity.

I thought maybe it was because of not enough Asian NASCAR teams.

I guess that it is time to sue the NFL for being anti-white. Blacks are over-represented in the league by 6 times. I don’t see many native americans or Chinese either.

I don’t keep up with NASCAR, but I would bet Black participants would be welcomed with great cordiality.

Of course if we are going to cite the participation level as evidence of discrimination, what are they going to do about the NFL?

Lets see. The Black populace makes up about 13% of our nation’s people.

We have turned Basketball, Football, music, and other parts fo the entertainment industry over at more than 50%. Now some idiot isn’t happy that they haven’t been gifted Nascar as well.

Is it that they haven’t been gifted Nascar yet, or it is that Nascar is so racist because it’s still a very loyal to the nation enterprise?

James West, Jimmy Olson,... the list goes on characters that have been turned to Black. Curiouser and curiouser...

Reminded me a outtake from Deadliest Catch. Sig is on the mainland for a PR gig. A crowd of people are asking for autographs and one chimes in that the show is racist.

Sig says, “what do you mean? We had a black crewman a few seaons ago” The other guy asks, ‘well, where is he now’?..Sig replies, “I don’t know, he quit.”

If you keep giving a bully your quarters - he starts demanding dollars.
