NASCAR<\/a> announced\u00a0it was investigating after a noose was found hanging in driver Bubba Wallace’s garage stall Sunday at Talladega, nearly two weeks after\u00a0prohibiting any images or displays of the Confederate flag at events.<\/p>\n

Wallace, 26, the only black driver in the NASCAR Cup Series,\u00a0responded on Twitter late Sunday, and said the sport has made a commitment to shaping an inclusive community while adding that “we will not be deterred by the reprehensible actions of those who seek to spread hate.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Today, the despicable act of racism and hatred leaves me incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society and how persistent we must be in the fight against racism,”\u00a0Wallace, who drove in a Black Lives Matter on June 10,\u00a0wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs my mother told me today, \u2018They 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.”<\/p>\n

Wallace was a strong advocate for NASCAR\u2019s decision to ban the Confederate flag, which he pushed for two weeks ago following the death of George Floyd on May 25.\u00a0The auto racing series said it was \u201coutraged\u201d and declared that this action only “strengthens our resolve\u00a0to make the sport open and welcoming to all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLate this afternoon, NASCAR was made aware that a noose was found in the garage stall of the 43 team,” NASCAR said in a statement Sunday, according to Fox Sports.\u00a0“We are angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough seriously we take this heinous act. We have launched an immediate investigation and will do everything we can to identify the person(s) responsible and eliminate them from the sport.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Wallace said his father, who is white, was worried about his safety, while also being proud of everything he was doing off the track.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust crazy you have to think about that side of things,” he told\u00a0Fox News Autos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Roughly 5,000 fans were allowed into Talladega to watch the GEICO 500 at Talladega, although they weren’t let\u00a0into the infield area. The race\u00a0was delayed until Monday due to rain.<\/p>\n

There were informal protests Saturday and Sunday, with cars and pickup trucks driving along nearby roads flying the Confederate\u00a0flag and parading past the entrance to the superspeedway, located in the heart of the South.<\/p>\n

However, there\u00a0weren’t any reports of flags confiscated or taken down at the track, and\u00a0NASCAR hasn’t said exactly how it plans to stop displaying the flag on track property.\u00a0A small plane flew overhead pulling a banner with the flag and the words \u201cDefund NASCAR.\u201d<\/p>\n

The flag ban took effect before last week’s race near Miami, but there were only about 1,000 military members admitted into that race.<\/p>\n

Fox News’ Gary Gastelu and the Associated Press contributed to this report<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
