Former NASCAR driver Richard Childress has resigned from the National Rifle Association's board, the latest member to step down in recent weeks after a controversy over the group's spending came to light.
In a letter announcing his resignation, which was first reported by NPR and obtained by CNN, Childress -- who owns a successful racing team and company -- said he wants to"fully focus" on his businesses, feeling that he owes that"to my employees, our partners, my family, and myself.
Last week, Julie Golob, a professional sport shooter, announced that she will not be finishing her full three-year term as an NRA board director, and three NRA members from the more than 70-member board resigned after raising concerns about reports of lavish spending and mismanagement by LaPierre, The Washington Post reported."We accept the resignation of Mr. Childress, and appreciate his many years of service to the NRA," NRA President Carolyn Meadows said.
