According to Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern Kyle Larson future at Chip Ganassi Racing is in serious doubt following yesterday’s sponsor exodus.
Larson’s major sponsors have severed ties with the disgraced NASCAR Cup driver after he was heard using a racial slur during the live stream of an online sim race Sunday night, but several companies are sticking with him.
McDonald’s, Credit One Bank, Clover and Chevrolet all denounced Larson’s language, but will continue to work with Chip Ganassi Racing in other capacities.
