The noose found hanging in Bubba Wallace’s garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway had been there since at least October, federal authorities said Tuesday in announcing no charges will be filed in an incident that rocked NASCAR and its only full-time Black driver.
U.S. Attorney Jay Town and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp Jr. said the investigation determined “although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week.”
A crew member for Richard Petty Motorsports discovered the noose Sunday at the Alabama racetrack.
