Denny Hamlin will be required to complete a sensitivity training course following a social media post he had made on April 25, NASCAR announced April 26.
According to NASCAR, Hamlin must begin the process for the training by the end of this week. The NASCAR Cup Series is racing this weekend at Dover Motor Speedway.
The social media post made by the Joe Gibbs Racing driver was directed toward driver Kyle Larson after the latter had made an ill-timed block on the last lap of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
The block caused a large crash that collected both of the 23XI Racing cars of Bubba Wallace and Kurt Busch, which are co-owned by Hamlin.
I took down a post I made earlier today after reading some of the comments. It was a poor choice of memes and I saw how it was offensive. It came across totally wrong. I apologize.

Hamlin’s tweet featured a clip of the show Family Guy in which an Asian woman veers into traffic.
Hamlin has since deleted the post and later issued an apology.
