Kyle Busch will be required to complete sensitivity training prior to the start of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season, after using a derogatory slur in an interview on pit road following Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

The sanctioning body released the following statement on Monday Evening, regarding the situation: "Kyle Busch will be required to complete sensitivity training before the start of the 2022 season as a result of the language used during a post-race interview that is in violation of NASCAR's conduct guidelines."

The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team owner used the 'r-word' in a post-race interview on pit road with members of the media when referring to late-race contact between himself and Brad Keselowski.

Busch later issued an apology Sunday night via social media.
