Hamlin Required To Complete Sensitivity Training After Social-Media Post

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR officials announced Tuesday that Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin will be required complete a sensitivity training course.

Hamlin will be required to begin the process of completing the course by the end of the week.

The mandated course comes in response to a social-media post that Hamlin sent Monday afternoon. Hamlin’s post was directed toward Kyle Larson, whose last-lap move in Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway collected the 23XI Racing entries of Kurt Busch and Bubba Wallace. Hamlin is a co-owner of the 23XI operation.

Hamlin deleted the tweet later Monday and issued an apology.
