(AP) – NASCAR went to Talladega Superspeedway on heightened alert after Bubba Wallace, its only Black driver, took on an active role in a push for racial equality.
So NASCAR moved quickly when one of Wallace’s crew members discovered a rope shaped like a noose in their garage stall.
NASCAR said it was the lone garage stall with a pull down rope that resembled a noose.
Only a handful of Wallace’s crew members and NASCAR saw the rope.
He was pleased it wasn’t a hate crime directed at Wallace, but insisted NASCAR would have conducted its investigation the same way even now knowing it was just a coincidence.
