Bubba Wallace and NASCAR have confirmed the noose was found in Wallace’s team garage Sunday afternoon at Talladega.
Wallace — the only Black driver in NASCAR’s top series — immediately condemned the situation … but says he will continue to fight against racism.
“Today’s despicable act of racism and hatred leaves me incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society and how persistent we must be in the fight against racism,” Wallace says.
“Over the last several weeks, I have been overwhelmed by the support from people across the NASCAR industry including other drivers and team members in the garage.” (TMZ)
