Bubba Wallace, NASCAR's only African American driver who races in its national series, has weighed in on Kyle Larson's use of a racial slur during a virtual race. The incident occurred during an iRacing event Sunday night, in which Larson appeared to lose communication on his headset. “You can’t hear me?” Larson asked, followed by the n-word.
"What Larson said was wrong, whether in private or public," Wallace said in a statement. "There is no gray area."
Wallace went on to say that he and Larson had a conversation about the incident on Monday, and that Larson offered a sincere apology.
