Bubba Wallace noose incident and subsequent FBI investigation
Last month, a noose was found in Bubba Wallace’s garage at the Talladega Superspeedway. FBI and NASCAR launched an investigation into the Bubba Wallace noose incident, and it was concluded that the Bubba Wallace noose was actually a knot tied to act as door rope. The 'noose' was in place since Talladega 2019, and there was no hate crime intended towards the NASCAR star. Wallace did not buy into the FBI investigation and claimed that the noose was not normal, and it definitely did not resemble a garage loop. Bubba Wallace said that he had never seen a garage loop like that in his entire racing career, and further said that it was definitely a noose, whether it was directed at him or not.
