NASCAR shares photo of noose from Bubba Wallace's garage, says search of all racetracks found 11 pulldown ropes in knots and only one noose
it did not dispute that there was a noose in the No. 4 garage at Talladega Superspeedway.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." Wallace did not discover the noose himself, nor did he report the discovery of it. Rather, he was informed of its existence by NASCAR, which considered the act a hate crime directed at Wallace. The discovery came just days after the league announced its decision to ban the Confederate flag from all races and events.
After the FBI's investigation found no crime, Wallace and NASCAR faced some accusations of lying about the incident. Wallace was adamant about the noose's existence during an interview with CNN on Monday night.
