Bubba Wallace defiant, calls rope a 'straight-up noose' after FBI says no crime occurred
In all his years in auto racing, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace said Tuesday night, he has never seen anything like what he described as a "straight-up noose" that was being used as a door pull in the garage he was assigned last week at Talladega Speedway in Alabama.
In all his years in auto racing, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace said Tuesday night, he has never seen anything like what he described as a "straight-up noose" that was being used as a door pull in the garage he was assigned last week at Talladega Speedway in Alabama.
“I’ve been racing all of my life,” Wallace told CNN's Don Lemon. “We've raced out of hundreds of garages that never had garage pulls like that. So people that want to call it a garage pull and put out all the videos and photos of knots being as their evidence, go ahead, but from the evidence that we have – and I have – it’s a straight-up noose.”
The FBI determined Tuesday that the rope had been hanging in the garage since last year, and it wasn’t intended as a hate crime against Wallace, a 26-year-old native of Alabama who is the only African-American full-time driver on the NASCAR circuit. Click here for more.
