Kyle Larson

[Rex Racer]

Forgot about that dipshit. Biggest prick of any driver I’ve ever met

You never met Dale Sr?

I've had it with NASCAR. I was watching less and less of it over the past couple of years, even missing races when I had no idea they were running on Saturday instead of Sunday sometimes. I watched maybe 25% of the time last season that I used to spend 5 years ago. I could give you several reasons why they had nearly lost me but this Kyle Larson thing is the last straw. Yeah, he shouldn't have said it......just like we shouldn't have used the word in our past at times but our careers weren't ruined over it because the SJW crowd black balled us. I had an employee call me a stupid SOB one time after a meeting and when I heard about it I was hot. I told him to come see me and we talked it out. Turns out I was right and he was too. So we buried the hatchet and just went on. Kyle should have been admonished, he issue an apology and people let it slide ONE TIME. Life would have gone on fine. But no, there's a huge over reaction. Now I'm going to react myself; no more wasting time watching a boring, dying sport with goofy fucking announcers telling me the car is turning left and trying to go really, really fast. From now on I'm one of those empty seats they keep trying not to show during the telecasts.

All NASCAR has done is suspend him, and he’d be eligible to come back after sensitivity training, it was 3 races for Jeremy Clements.

NASCAR has no control over sponsors. They’re the reason he’s done for a while.

Tim Richmond Suspended in 1988 for drug use in what turned out to be Sudafed and Advil. He was eventually reinstated, but never raced again.

Chip Ganassi fired his ass. It would have been the same things with any other team owner and now he's got to wonder if/when he gets another really decent ride, if ever. They play to the SJW crowd now and I understand how it's all about the money and sponsors having the real power behind the throne. What if LeBron James used the work "honky" on the air while playing a video game. Whatcha think would happen then?

Nothing.

Yep, at the 2000 Spring Atlanta race. He was as nice as could be, same with Dale Jarret, Ricky Rudd and Tony Stewart.

He got fired because all the sponsors were leaving. Chip isn’t gonna field an unsponsored car

hed lose all his sponsers which is just as damaging

 

[Chewbaccer]

And nascar wonders why they're losing so many fans so quickly.

This is fucken pathetic, give him a slap on the wrist, tell everyone he's going to sensitivity training and let's move on.

NASCAR can’t control sponsors dropping him and his team firing him.

The only reason anybody has a ride is because the cars are billboards on wheels. They're spokesmen for their sponsors and if you drop a n-bomb like that you're going to get canned. It's not that hard to grasp.

Glad my job isn’t a billboard on wheels.

Exactly. Only reason Jeremy Clements still races in the Busch series is because he didn’t have any sponsors to lose, drives for a family owned team and was never gonna make the Cup Series anyways

You're awfully naive if you don't think NASCAR has set the tone on the repercussions of this incident.

When McDonald’s says you have to go, then you have to go. Can’t fight that McMoney.

Sponsors spoke out before NASCAR did

 

[broncosmitty]

He used the ER though. Major no no

But he said it funny, for effect.


It's not like he was shaking his fist in anger with the ER at the end. His tone was lighthearted.
