You are wrong... we do agree. I'm sure they said something as well and I completely understand and support that . If I were Kyle Busch or Denny Hamlin's sponsor they and Joe Gibbs would be hearing from me a lot! If I had any driver representing me or my company I surely would reserve the right to hold them accountable probably to such a standard they would question whether if it was worth it. You missed my point. I said Kyle Busch wasn't calling anyone with special needs a r*tard just as Kyle Larson wasn't calling a black person a n*gger. That would indicate a character or heart issue, that is not the case. You can make the case in todays society that it was stupid and I will grant you that, and I would argue we are just too damn sensitive and politically correct in todays society. I'm trying to imagine the same scenario with Dale Earnhardt.

M&M and FedEx has been very strong and loyal to JGR and their drivers. I don't see either of them bailing for what their drivers said on national tv, but I'm certain the hammer was dropped behind the scenes and they let both drivers know that they better tighten things up.

Kyle Larson had to do a LOT of sensitivity training, so don't believe he got off light. He did get lucky, however.

I agree, 100%!!
