Wallace was referring to comments on social media that arose after NASCAR announced Tuesday that an FBI investigation determined the noose found in Wallace’s car garage at Talladega was not a hate crime targeted at the only Black driver in the sport’s top series.

“The FBI learned that garage number 4, where the noose was found, was assigned to Bubba Wallace last week,” the FBI statement said.

Wallace also said that he thought NASCAR’s recent ban of the Confederate flag at races, a decision the No.43 driver prompted, helped fuel the sport’s hypersensitivity around acts of retaliation at Talladega.

“NASCAR was worried about Talladega,” Wallace said about the Alabama track.

Wallace called the superspeedway “one of the best race tracks to go to,” but said NASCAR had the race “circled on the radar with everything going around.”
