While an FBI investigation concluded on Tuesday that NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace was not the target of a hate crime, it did not dispute that there was a noose in the No. 4 garage at Talladega Superspeedway.
Pictures of the noose, released by NASCAR on Thursday, further confirm that conclusion.
In a conference call with reporters, NASCAR president Steve Phelps said it conducted a thorough sweep of all 1,684 garage stalls at the 29 tracks the league uses.
“They found only 11 total ropes that had a pulldown rope tied in a knot,” he said, “and just one noose: The one in Bubba Wallace’s garage.”
