CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A South Carolina woman serving as a NASCAR Miss Sprint Cup has been let go after nude pictures of her appeared online.

Paige Duke told The Charlotte Observer the pictures were taken when she was a freshman at Clemson University and were only meant for her boyfriend at the time.

But the 24-year-old veterinary technician says there was a morals clause in the contract she signed to be Miss Sprint Cup, so she is not surprised she was fired from what she said was the perfect job

Duke says her attorneys are working to have the images removed from websites and are trying to figure out how they were released in the first place.

Duke says she hopes girls learn the lesson that private pictures don't always stay private.
