FBI concludes investigation on noose found in Bubba Wallace NASCAR stall

The FBI has released its investigation findings in Bubba Wallace‘s case.

NASCAR released a statement on Tuesday, they stated that the FBI has determined the race car driver “was not a target of a hate crime.” The FBI report concludes, and photographic evidence confirms, that the garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose had been positioned there since as early as last fall.” 

“This was obviously well before the 43 team’s arrival and the garage assignment,” the statement continued. “We appreciate the FBI’s quick and thorough investigation and and are thankful to them that this was not an intentional, racist act against Bubba.”

In a statement by the FBI, the U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town and bureau’s Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp Jr. announced the results of their investigation and said that after reviewing their findings they will not be pressing federal charges.

Bubba not yet to responded to the FBI’s findings, but on Tuesday morning during his interview with the ladies of The View he said that he found it offensive that the noose was placed in his garage as a “hoax.” He stated, “It’s simple-minded people like that, the ones who are afraid of change, they use everything in their power to defend what they stand up for and instead of trying to listen and understand what’s going on… like I said, this is an ongoing investigation. We’re still trying to figure out whoever did this crazy act.”

He added that the incident has reaffirmed his desire to “be a leader” during a time when “systemic racism is a problem from every aspect of life.” 

“I don’t have it as hard as other people, but I still go through it so I can witness it and be a part of it and speak on the matters and educate others. That’s the biggest thing is that we as a sport put our messaging out there is educating people, listening and learning, helping people understand what other people are going through. We are very often too quick to listen and don’t give enough time to hear each other out…Throughout all of this it will solidify where I stand and stand proud,” he promised. 

Bubba has called for racial equality and acceptance seemingly united the drivers of NASCAR in their desire to make racing more inclusive and diverse. On Monday’s race at the Talladega Superspeedway, the NASCAR drivers and their pit crews showed solidarity with Wallace by pushing his No. 43 car down the track to the starting line.
