NASCAR shares picture of noose from Bubba Wallace’s garage, says search at all tracks found only one pulldown rope in noose
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.”
