NASCAR driver Kyle Busch issued an apology on Monday after using the R-word during a post-race interview at Martinsville Speedway.Busch uttered the slur against people with disabilities on Sunday while describing a move made by his opponent, Brad Keselowski.”It’s frickin’ r——-, man, so stupid,” Busch said. “I don’t understand these guys.
