NASCAR's Larson suspended for racial slur in virtual race

Kyle Larson’s racial slur cost him one of his primary NASCAR supporters. McDonald's and Credit One Bank ended its sponsorship of Larson and his No. 42 Chevrolet a day after the driver used the N-word during a live stream of a virtual race. The decision came hours after NASCAR and Chip Ganassi Racing suspended Larson indefinitely. NASCAR ordered Larson, who is half Japanese, to complete a sensitivity training course before he can be reinstated. Larson was competing in an iRacing event when he appeared to lose communication with his spotter. He said during a check of his microphone “you can’t hear me?” That was followed by the N-word.
