NASCAR has ordered driver Denny Hamlin to undergo sensitivity training after he posted an anti-Asian meme from ‘Family Guy’ as criticism of Kyle Larson’s driving in the last lap at Talladega Superspeedway over the weekend.

Hamlin, who also owns 23XI Racing with Michael Jordan, deleted the tweet and apologized. Hamlin is good friends with Larson, who is half-Japanese, and who was himself suspended for almost all of the 2020 season for using a racial slur in an online race.

In the meme, an Asian woman speaks in accented English before cutting across six lanes of traffic with no warning.
