Have you seen ropes like that hanging from garages? Is that typical?

Bubba Wallace: (00:12)
Don, the image that I have and I have seen of what was hanging in my garage is not a garage pull. I’ve been racing all my life. We’ve raced out of hundreds of garages that never had garage pulls like that. So people that want to call it a garage pull and put out old videos and photos of knots being as their evidence, go ahead, but from the evidence that we have, that I have, it’s a straight-up noose. The FBI has stated it was a noose over and over again. NASCAR leadership has stated that it was a noose. I can confirm that I actually got evidence of what was hanging in my garage, over my car, around my picker guys, to confirm that it was a noose and never seen anything like that. It’s not something … I talked to my crew chief about it, I said, “Is this something like … ” I wanted to make sure we weren’t jumping the gun and I said, “This isn’t a knot. This isn’t just a regular old what do you call it.” He’s like, “Bubba, this isn’t something that can be done within a second of just tying a knot and being on the way. This is something that took time.”

So what are you saying here? Are you saying that you don’t believe, do you believe that it was intended for you in that way or are you … What are you saying here?

Bubba Wallace: (01:36)
It was a noose. It was a noose that was whether tied in 2019 or whatever, it was a noose so it wasn’t directed at me but somebody tied a noose. That’s what I am saying. It is a noose.
