NASCAR officials are reinstating Kyle Larson. Larson had been indefinitely suspended from the circuit back in April after using a racial slur in what he thought was a private message to his spotter. The transmission was instead broadcast to those watching the race on public live streams. Larson took accountability for his actions, apologized and agreed to further sensitivity training.
While Larson is eligible to return to the NASCAR circuit as of January 1st, the 28-year old will need to find a team with a vacancy as he was fired by Chip Ganassi Racing shortly after being suspended.
