Department of Justice
U.S. Attorney’s Office
Northern District of Alabama
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, June 23, 2020
Joint Statement from U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town and FBI
Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp, Jr. Regarding the
Noose Found in NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace’s Garage at
Talladega Superspeedway
“On Monday, fifteen FBI special agents conducted numerous
interviews regarding the situation at Talladega
Superspeedway. After a thorough review of the facts and
evidence surrounding this event, we have concluded that no
federal crime was committed.
The FBI learned that garage number 4, where the noose was
found, was assigned to Bubba Wallace last week. The
investigation also revealed evidence, including authentic
video confirmed by NASCAR, that the noose found in garage
number 4 was in that garage as early as October 2019.
Although the noose is now known to have been in garage
number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace
would be assigned to garage number 4 last week.
The decision not to pursue federal charges is proper after
reviewing all available facts and all applicable federal
laws. We offer our thanks to NASCAR, Mr. Wallace, and
everyone who cooperated with this investigation.”

If you didn't predict this outcome in the first ten second of hearing the story, you haven't been paying attention for the past four years. https://t.co/bfcl1CmZZc
