Nascar driver Kyle Larson who most recently was involved in a program designed to get more minorities and diversity within the sport decided to show himself for really who he is yesterday evening.

The 27-year-old participated in a virtual Livestream race with other Nascar drivers on Easter Sunday which was broadcasted on Twitch called the, Monza Madness.

The event was viewed by thousands of drivers, so there is no just letting this incident just slide under the rug.

According to TMZ Sports, on lap 6 of the virtual race Larson crashed the vehicle and tried communicating with other drivers, but apparently couldn’t get a response. Consequently, Larson took matters into his own hands comfortably uttering the racial slur.

Several other drivers seconds later made Kyle aware of his comments, instructing him that everyone could hear his comments, also which were as mentioned before, being live-streamed by thousands of viewers.

Kyle’s response after being made aware of his comments,

“Oh Damn”

BSO Sports recently published an article, showing awareness of NASCAR implementing a program designed ultimately for progressing minorities throughout it’s sport, which certainly lacks people of color. Larson, who is of Japanese descent, was indeed one of the graduates from the program.

Larson, who is also sponsored by McDonald’s and Credit One Bank will possibly be looking for new sponsors after comfortably dropping N-bombs on live streams for the NASCAR brand.

A sport that not only lacks diversity has always carried that sense of stereotype. The brand seems to associate itself with those types of prejudices and feelings demonstrated by Larson. Those feelings are the same which the sport has worked on in recent years trying to evolve from.

Larson has been suspended without pay and was dropped by his live stream sponsor.

Flip the pages to hear how casually Kyle Larson calls people n*ggers, his fake apology and some of the Twitter reactions.
