Kyle Larsen Apologizes After Saying the "N" Word During iRace.

NASCAR driver Kyle Larson was suspended without pay indefinitely by Chip Ganassi Racing Monday for using the n-word on a live stream during a virtual race. Larson, who is half Japanese, apologized, saying in a video posted online that there was, quote, "no excuse" for what he'd done. Larson's actions also faced criticism from his sponsors, and NASCAR ordered him to complete a sensitivity training course before he’s eligible to be reinstated. Larson was competing in an iRacing event Sunday night when he seemed to lose communication on his headset with his spotter. During a check of his microphone, he said to the spotter, who is white, "You can’t hear me?" followed by the n-word.
