, explained why the other drivers made the show of support."As everybody knows, this is such a big family in the garage area, and the news really has disturbed us all. We want justice, in a sense, and we want to know who and why. Until all those [questions] are answered, we want to stand with our friend. We want to stand with Bubba."
"As this idea came together today, it started within the drivers, and then as the crew members caught wind that we wanted to push Bubba's car down and stand with him during the national anthem, the teams wanted to get involved as well, and you saw the support, it was pretty amazing." The FBI announced Monday that it would investigate the incident."Regardless of whether federal charges can be brought, this type of action has no place in our society," U.S. Attorney Jay Town of the Northern District of Alabama said in a statement.
