When it seemed like NASCAR’s situation could not get any more intense, a noose was found in Wallace’s garage stall at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway, hosting a Cup Series race. According to ABC News, NASCAR launched an investigation into the situation. NASCAR President Steve Phelps said Monday that those responsible would be “banned from this sport for life.” He adds, “There is no room for this at all,” he said at a news briefing. “We won’t tolerate it. They won’t be here. I don’t care who they are; they will not be here.”
