MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch should not have used a slur referring to the mentally disabled during a post-race interview and NASCAR was right to order the tempestuous driver to undergo sensitivity training, team owner Joe Gibbs said Tuesday.
Busch apologized on social media for using the slur while complaining about driver Brad Keselowski following Sunday's race at Martinsville. NASCAR said Busch must complete the training before the start of the 2022 season because of language used in violation of NASCAR's conduct guidelines.
"I think Kyle knows he should not have used that word," Gibbs said.
