NASCAR star Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. spoke out after a noose was found in his garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway.
The professional stock racer, who is the only black driver in NASCAR’s top racing series, said that he had received overwhelming support from people in the industry prior to Sunday’s incident.
Wallace ended his statement by sharing a quote from his mother: “‘They are just trying to scare you.’ This will not break me, I will not give in nor will I back down. I will continue to proudly stand for what I believe in.”NASCAR announced earlier on Sunday that “a noose was found in the garage stall of the 43 team,” which Wallace joined in 2017.
