Kyle Larson FIRED – Pat McAfee Reacts to NASCAR Star Dropping Racial Slur

A couple of days ago, NASCAR star, Kyle Larson, would find himself at the forefront of news that really made us cringe. During an iRacing virtual race that was broadcasting live, he would sling the N-word out there like it was nothing. During what appeared to be a microphone check between Larson and his spotter, Larson didn’t seem to be aware of the live broadcast. Almost immediately, an indefinite suspension would come down from NASCAR and his race team alike.

Tuesday, Larson found himself in a position where things weren’t exactly going in the right direction for him, either. Tuesday morning, Chip Ganassi Racing officially decided that they would end up dropping Larson entirely. In addition, just about every major sports broadcaster would chime in on the matter. Larson was basically a punching bag for the day, which was to be expected.

As of right now, it’s unclear if the driver will ever see the racing surface under the NASCAR brand again. This just goes to show how things can take a turn in the matter of a single moment. The lapse in judgment is probably one that he’s really wishing he could take back right now.

One of the latest to chime in on the matter is none other than Pat McAfee. McAfee always seems to bring a level head to sports reporting and approaches things honestly. It’s really rare in any sort of media that we can find somebody who is willing to put all of their chips on the table. It’s not too common that these commentators are willing to go all out in their analysis.

With that in mind, he didn’t hesitate to open up the firing squad on the situation. At the end of the day, this is something incredibly avoidable that never needed to happen. In the blink of an eye, one bad decision might’ve just sunken Kyle Larson.
