Nascar.
The joke “What’s a race that starts with an N, ends with an R and has 6 letters? Nascar.” plays on the listener’s expectations and societal sensitivities. The setup, by specifying a word that starts with “N” and ends with “R” with a total of six letters, might lead some listeners to think of a racial slur that fits the description, making them uncomfortable or apprehensive about the punchline. However, the joke takes a sharp turn with the answer “Nascar,” a popular car racing sport, which is completely unrelated to the potentially offensive word.
