A live stream video of NASCAR driver Kyle Larson went viral in the past few days and ultimately led to his dismissal from his racing team Tuesday as the audio revealed Larson using a racial slur during an online racing video game.
In the video, Larson could be heard testing his microphone and trying to communicate with the other online drivers after a virtual crash,"You can't hear me? Hey [racial slur]." Several other players in the online racing game could be heard responding with shocked laughter and gasps as they informed Larson,"Kyle, you're talking to everyone bud," before another responded,"Yep, we heard that.
"Hey, I just want to say I'm sorry last night I made a mistake and said the word that should never, ever be said and it should never be said - I wasn't raised that way and, you know, it's just an awful thing to say," Larson said in a video he posted to his social media accounts."I feel very sorry for my family, my friends, my partners, the NASCAR community and especially the African American community.
