    Noose Left In Black Driver’s Garage Stall At NASCAR Race Track

    NASCA noose – among the most threatening and resonant images from America’s long history of white racist violence – was left in the garage stall Sunday of NASCAR’s sole African American driver in the Cup Series, its top stock car racing circuit.

    NASCAR said the incident took place at its race track in Talladega, Ala. The garage stall was assigned to Bubba Wallace, who had led the successful campaign to ban Confederate flags from NASCAR facilities and events, which went into effect earlier this month.

    In a statement, Wallace said, “Today’s 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.”

    NASCAR condemned the act:

    “We are angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough how 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. As we have stated unequivocally, there is no place for racism in NASCAR, and this act only strengthens our resolve to make the sport open and welcoming to all.”

    Sunday’s race at the Talladega Superspeedway was postponed to Monday because of rain. It was to have been the first large public sporting event since crowd restrictions were imposed across the nation because of the coronavirus. Some 5,000 spectators were permitted in a venue that seats about 100,000.

    It was also the first test of NASCAR’s ban on the Confederate flag.

    Within the speedway, the ban appeared to be successful. But outside, a rolling protest of vehicles flew large Confederate banners, and merchants were selling souvenirs with the flag’s image. An unidentified pilot flew a light plane over the speedway, trailing a large Confederate flag and a banner with the words, “Defund NASCAR.”

    “Together,” Wallace continued in his statement, “our sport has made a commitment to driving real change and championing a community that is accepting and welcoming of everyone. Nothing is more important and we will not be deterred by the reprehensible actions of those who seek to spread hate.”
