Suspension:
On Easter Sunday, April 12, Larson was among those competing in a virtual event at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. Multiple drivers were live streaming the event on Twitch, so when Larson uttered the N-word in attempt to get the attention of his spotter, thousands heard him.
That number multiplied quickly, given the impact of social media.
This led to both NASCAR and Chip Ganassi Racing issuing the then 28-year-old Elk Grove, California native an indefinite suspension, prohibiting him from returning to the sport until he completed sensitivity training.
Racial Slur:
It was clear from the start that this was a business decision: Larson was not fired for using the word itself. Sure, that’s obviously what led to the firing, but he wasn’t fired until it had business implications — until keeping him in the #42 Chevrolet would’ve cost his team owner millions of dollars.
There’s a reason why he wasn’t fired until two days after the fact, after all of his partners announced that they would no longer associate with him. Ganassi even confirmed this straight-up.
