Bubba Wallace’s NASCAR colleagues paid tribute to the fellow competitor on Monday, a day after a noose was found in his garage stall, Yahoo Sports reported.
On Sunday, as previously reported by The Inquisitr, before NASCAR’s race at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway (a race which was postponed until Monday due to rain), a member of Wallace’s team purportedly found a noose in the garage stall where Wallace’s car was to be kept. Wallace is the only Black driver in NASCAR, and the noose is a symbol that calls to mind lynching, the practice of hanging Blacks from trees as punishment for crimes of which they were never convicted, or simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
On Monday, the postponed race resumed, and before the race, Wallace’s competitors showed the driver that they have his back.
