Almost a month after Kyle Larson's use of the N-word during an iRacing event cost him his NASCAR Cup Series ride with Chip Ganassi Racing and his primary sponsors, ​the 27-year-old driver will return to racing Friday.
According to NBC Sports, Larson will race the No. 57 sprint car he owns when the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series returns May 8 at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. Retired NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne will also race at Knoxville for the sprint car team he owns.

Larson remains indefinitely suspended by NASCAR, but a World of Outlaws spokesman told NBC Sports that Larson had completed the sensitivity training required for his return to dirt racing.
As for Larson's return to stock car racing, NASCAR told Racer Magazine's Kelly Crandall it "will not have anything to communicate until we announce his reinstatement at a later date." Friday night's sprint car race will broadcast live on DIRTVision, but spectators will not be allowed at Knoxville Raceway.
Larson, who also was suspended indefinitely by iRacing for his use of the racial slur, apologized for his use of the word in a video he tweeted the next day.
"Kyle is an important and visible stakeholder in the World of Outlaws community as both a driver and team owner," the World of Outlaws said in a statement on April 14. "Kyle has admitted to making a mistake and it is our expectation that he will make every effort to represent the sport in a professional manner moving forward. Provided that Kyle completes the designated training in the allotted time, he will remain eligible to compete in all World of Outlaws sanctioned events."
The virtual race in which Larson uttered the N-word was not an official NASCAR iRacing event, which have been replacing the live NASCAR Cup Series races that have been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

suspended driver Kyle Larson for using the n-word during a virtual racing event.

Larson was recorded using the slur during a live-streamed iRacing tournament, on the gaming platform Twitch. During the virtual race, he seemed to have lost communication and said, "I can't see it. You can't hear me? Hey n----r."

Another individual involved in the race said to him, "Kyle, you're talking to everyone, bud."

We are extremely disappointed by what Kyle said last night during an iRacing event," the racing organization said in a statement. "The words that he chose to use are offensive and unacceptable."

NASCAR announced soon after that he'd been suspended from the sport.

"NASCAR has made diversity and inclusion a priority and will not tolerate the type of language used by Kyle Larson during Sunday's iRacing event," the company said in a statement. "Our Member Conduct Guidelines are clear in this regard, and we will enforce these guidelines to maintain an inclusive environment for our entire industry and fan base."

On Monday, Larson said he felt "very sorry" for his family, friends, NASCAR partners and "especially the African American community."
Last night I made a mistake and said the word that should never, ever be said. And there's no excuse for that," the 27-year-old said in the filmed apology. "I understand that the damage is probably unrepairable. I own up to that. I just wanted to let you all know how sorry I am."

Larson, whose mother is Japanese American, was a member of NASCAR's Drive for Diversity initiative, designed to draw people of color and women to the sport in various roles. He's one of the first graduates of the program to make it into the NASCAR Cup Series, its most prestigious racing series, and won NASCAR's Rookie of the Year award in 2014.

Since coronavirus forced NASCAR to postpone the rest of the season, drivers have participated in iRacing simulations. NASCAR is one of several professional sports to broadcast video games or simulations in place of live competitions.

In an earlier live-streamed virtual race, Bubba Wallace, the first African American driver to win a national NASCAR series, quit a match mid-game. One of his sponsors, the pain relief company Blue Emu, appeared to drop its sponsorship after he made light of his fit.
