2017 Mobil 1 Driver of the Year Kyle Larson dropped the n-word during a virtual race on Sunday. It seemed to be his way of checking to see if his crew could hear him.
During the race in a call with his crew, he was unsure if all of them could hear him, so he said: “Hey n-word.”
After a few seconds of silence, his crew responded “Wow, hey” after another few seconds of silence they let him know that everyone heard him say that.
On Monday, NASCAR announced that Larson would be suspended indefinitely without pay.
