0:00I'm Corey with The Story, and this is your Pulse of the World, Global News Today. NASCAR Truck Series Driver Daniel Dai faces suspension after making mocking comments about IndyCar Driver David Malukas during a recent live stream. This marks the second major penalty in his career. NASCAR has ordered sensitivity training for him, while his team, Collegracing, issued its own suspension. Dai quickly apologized on social media, admitting he chose poor words that upset people. He reflected on talks with close friends in the LGBTQ plus community, saying they helped him see he needs to hold himself to a higher standard. This echoes an earlier incident when Dai was 18 and racing in ARCA. He got arrested for felony battery after punching a classmate in the groin during what he called a game. The victim needed hospital care for a possible injury. ARCA, owned by NASCAR, handed him an indefinite suspension until the charge dropped to a misdemeanor, allowing his return. Malukas, now a 24-year-old with teen Penske, often posts pictures with his girlfriend

The comments came during the St. Petersburg weekend, overlapping with IndyCar's opener. D&N is sponsored by our partner. You know what is better than earbuds in bed?
