NASCAR has revealed a noose was found in African-American driver Bubba Wallace’s garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway.
On Monday, NASCAR released a statement confirming they had launched an immediate investigation into the “heinous act”. Wallace is the only full-time Black driver in NASCAR’s elite Cup series.
“Late this afternoon, NASCAR was made aware that a noose was found in the garage stall of the 43 team. We are angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough how seriously we take this heinous act,” NASCAR said in a statement.
“We have launched an immediate investigation, and will do everything we can to identify the person(s) responsible and eliminate them from the sport.”
Wallace responded to the “despicable act” on Twitter. Although he was “incredibly saddened” by the incident, he refused to be deterred by the act of racism.
I was going to put this in the Riots thread as it was about racism, but that thread seems to have disappeared?
