And probably all high level American Motorsports as well. I can’t see the governing body of Sprint car racing letting him race either after what he’s done. Absolute PR disaster

He will not miss a single race. Sensitivity training and then reinstated.

He needs a sponsor first.  He is the first person in history to be rejected by Credit One Bank.

Dale Coyne will hire him for Indy. It’s fine.

They won’t even let him into Midget Racing because he asked about Midget Racing.

With this guy remaining as the Lord and Savior of most NASCAR fans, a man who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, still in power, I doubt Larson has much to worry about. He’ll lie low for a while, everybody will get their Twitters in a bunch, he’ll make the requisite apology tour, and then will climb back in the driver’s seat and it will be business as usual in America.

The only driver Dale Coyne has EVER hired, is Bourdais.  Everybody else has to bring money to Dale.

Sure, he can get reinstated by NASCAR after sensitivity training but that doesn’t get him his seat and sponsors back.

Chip will put Kyle’s seat on the top shelf in the store room.  Kyle will never reach it!

There’s no way Kyle Larson would appoint a Black physician as Surgeon General

He’ll just pick up the Liberty University or Koch Brothers sponsorship

I’d make a dancing coffin video meme of him, but I don’t have the video editing skills to do so.

He won't drive for the same team or McDonald's again but just wait he does not miss one race.

Obviously because they approve of the pandemic response and want 4 more years.

He’ s a Trump supporter, there’s definitely money to be found.

Ganassi is a Trump supporter too . What company is going to shell out to sponsor Larson now?

See Arch Duke’s response for some suggestions. But I think he’ll be back. If Santino, Dan Ticktum, and the motorcycle shithead who pulled a competitors brakes can all get new contracts, Larson will be fine.

Time will tell.  I think at the very least Larson is done for the year.

Hes literally been fired by his team, dropped by his current car manufacturer (Chevy), is indefinitely suspended by Nascar, and was dropped by his two biggest sponsors. Dude will be lucky to find a backwater team to give him seat time in 2022 let alone this year

It’s about time for For Profit prisons to start sponsoring things.

I don’t think something, especially related to motor sports, would be discussed this much if we had baseball going on, or even other NASCAR races. The sports media is like “hey, this guy is in sports and it’ll create division, so let’s discuss it!”

I mean it creates division because there are people who understand there is no excuse for what he said and people who are wrong. That's not on the media

You know how many of these kids  get on these gaming platforms and just say that word all day? Reason why i stopped playing “live”.

His sponsor compared it to his 13 year old son breaking his controller when he was mad a video game. Also, Blue Emu was paying for advertisement on screen, he cut their screen time short by quitting.

I empathize with Bubba for letting his frustrations get the best of him. We are all on edge right now. I can also see how a sponsor expects professionalism from their representatives.

Once again the above is directed at what Bubba did, n ot what Larsen said.

That still doesn't mean it's ok for larson to say it. Also why I don't play with a mic when I am online

Ok that makes more sense. But at the same time I've seen people compare what Larson did to what bubba did and I'm just like they aren't even in the same zip code
