NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was ordered to undergo sensitivity training before the start of the 2022 campaign for using an insensitive term during an interview at Martinsville late last year.
Busch used word against Brad Keselowski after race at Martinsville
Busch was upset about being hit by Brad Keselowski as his rival made a last ditch move to pass him on the final straight.
"I should beat the **** out of him right now."
After the race, Kyle Busch called out Brad Keselowski for his move for second on the last lap.
BUT… if Alex Bowman were to fail post-race inspection, Kyle beat Brad for second and would get the win. #Championship4 #NASCAR pic.twitter.com/eF0sFr0qds

Kyle Busch has completed sensitivity training required from using r-word last yr, NASCAR confirmed. Confirmation today doesn't mean it occurred in the last few weeks, just that he did complete it during offseason & those who conducted the session pleased with his responsiveness.

Busch later tweeted, “In one of my post-race interviews I used a word I should never use and I want to apologize for it,” but the series said the language violated its conduct guidelines.
People need to stand up to this stupiness.
If it’s against rules, then apologize and let it be or fire him.
“Sensitivity Training”, no it’s some fat person with colored hair receiving money for a fake class. NOBODY WHO ACTUALLY WATCHES NASCAR, CARES ABOUT THESE S POLITICAL CORRECT D.
Not all NASCAR fans are racists or low brow people
And it is never okay to insult anyone with name calling or racial slurs
Get over it
“Some Fat person?” That means it can be any NASCAR fan apparently. Maybe you need to go see that “fat guy”!
Pretty sad that, as adults, we are reduced to saying things like “he said the “r” word”, even though it is wrong to name call someone with it, I think writing or saying it should still be acceptable. It makes more sense to just say the word you are referring to, especially since you wouldn’t be using it in the context of demeaning anyone, instead, you are telling others about the what and why of your story, then having to refer to words by an initial only, and besides, we are adults. Otherwise, I believe, we will soon be saying things like “that “m” called that “w” an “f”, or vice versa, lol
