- Chip Ganassi Racing calls use of slur ‘unacceptable’
- Sponsors and Nascar distance themselves from driver
Kyle Larson has been fired by Chip Ganassi Racing, a day after the majority of his sponsors dropped the driver for using a racial slur during a virtual race.
“After much consideration, Chip Ganassi Racing has determined that it will end its relationship with driver Kyle Larson,” Ganassi said. “As we said before, the comments that Kyle made were both offensive and unacceptable especially given the values of our organization. As we continued to evaluate the situation with all the relevant parties, it became obvious that this was the only appropriate course of action to take.”
