Kyle Larson is the second driver in 1 week to draw controversy during a virtual racing event.
NASCAR star Kyle Larson used a racial slur on a livestream during a virtual race -- the second driver in a week to draw scrutiny while using the online racing platform to fill time during the coronavirus pandemic.
One week ago, Bubba Wallace"rage quit" an official NASCAR iRacing event that was televised live nationally and his sponsor fired him immediately. Wallace had been wrecked and, fed up, quit the game and admitted on Twitter that it was out of anger. Blue-Emu, a topical pain reliever that had sponsored Wallace for the virtual race and has an association with him in real life, replied to the tweet, firing Wallace.
Larson, in his seventh full season in NASCAR, is in the final year of his contract with Chip Ganassi Racing. He was at the top of the list of a crowded free agent field when the circuit was suspended four races into the season as sports stopped during the coronavirus crisis.
