It turns out the noose found in Bubba Wallace garage on Sunday might not have been the first one found at a NASCAR track over the racing weekend.
Raceway President Steve Page stated a “piece of twine tied in what appeared to be a noose” was found hanging from a tree on Saturday behind a former administrative office, news outlets detailed.
