What Is Up With Bubba Wallace And A Noose?

If any racing fan has been looking at the news as of late, they would probably know what we are talking about. On June 21st of 2020, Bubba's team reported that a noose was found in the team's garage stall at the Talladega Speedway. Since the Black Lives Matter incident is still fresh in the minds of the people, this incident did not take long to escalate to the point where this was considered an act of violence towards racism.

The racer also spoke his views about this incident stating that it won't tear him up. After a thorough investigation by the FBI, it was discovered that the noose was in fact just a rope designed as a noose for the garage door, and had been there since 2019. While it did seem like a coincident, Bubba is sure that it was directed towards him, and whether it was there since 2019 or not, does not change the fact that its a noose.

Did this get him frustrated? Yes. Will, he let it get to his head? No. And so, he will turn this frustration into motivation for his races and make sure that he does his best.
