Less than 24 hours after the incident Larson has now been suspended without pay by his team Chip Ganassi Racing.
“We are extremely disappointed by what Kyle said last night during an iRacing Event. The words that he chose to use are offensive and unacceptable. As of this moment we are suspending Kyle without pay while we work through this situation with all appropriate parties.”
NASCAR went on to release a statement saying they were looking into the matter.
