NASCAR Driver Bubba Wallace Will not Back Down from Racism
After a NASCAR race at Talladega was postponed to Monday, a noose was found in the garage stall of driver Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. on Sunday.
This happened two weeks after NASCAR banned Confederate Flags at their races; Wallace had demanded the flags to be removed.
On June 7, Wallace wore a black shirt with the phrases “Black Lives Matter” and “I can’t breathe” during the NASCAR Cup Series Folds of Honor Quiktrip 500.
Three days later, Wallace drove a car with a Black Lives Matter paint scheme at the Martinsville Speedway race.
Wallace was one of the many NASCAR drivers featured in a video statement showing how NASCAR is against racism.
