The FBI said a noose found in the team garage of NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace at the Talladega Superspeedway has been there since last year and he, therefore, is not a victim of a hate crime. • NASCAR, mentioning the FBI report, described the item as a garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose. • The FBI learned that garage number 4, where the noose was found, was assigned to Bubba Wallace last week, the agency said in a statement Tuesday. The investigation also revealed evidence, including authentic video confirmed by NASCAR, that the noose found in garage number 4 was in that garage as early as October 2019. 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. • Wallace had not publicly responded to the FBI's finding as of early Tuesday night. NASCAR said he never saw the noose. • NASCAR issued a statement regarding the FBI's decision saying, We appreciate the FBI's quick and thorough investigation and are thankful to learn that this was not an intentional, racist act against Bubba. • We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all who love racing, NASCAR said. • Richard Petty Motorsports, which fields the No. 43 car driven by Wallace, issued a statement saying one of its employees discovered a rope tied in the fashion of a noose in the garage stall assigned to Wallace. • The Petty employees followed protocol and notified NASCAR, said the statement. • No member of Richard Petty Motorsports, nor Wallace had any involvement with the presence of the rope, the statement said. • #BubbaWallace #CNN #News
