After a noose was reportedly found inside the garage of NASCAR diver Bubba Wallace‘s garage, the organization has gained praise for its handling and endured jeers from detractors.

ESPN reports that NASCAR finalized its internal investigation of the event, this after the FBI determined in its findings that the noose’s placement was not a hate crime.

A photo of the noose was shared by NASCAR and president Steve Phelps made statements saying that “the noose was real,” confirming what Wallace has said repeatedly in the press in an effort to push back against trolls and commentators online who have decried the recent shifts in NASCAR regarding the confederate flag and Wallace’s open Black Lives Matter movement support.

What we saw was a symbol of hate, and was only present in one area of the garage, that of the 43 car of Bubba Wallace.”
