Chip Ganassi Racing has fired driver Kyle Larson after he used a racial slur on a live stream during a virtual race. He was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR and without pay by the racing team on Monday.
"After much consideration, Chip Ganassi Racing has determined that it will end its relationship with driver Kyle Larson," the team said in a statement. "As we said before, the comments that Kyle made were both offensive and unacceptable especially given the values of our organization. As we continue to evaluate the situation with all the relevant parties, it became obvious that this was the only appropriate course of action to take.
