On Sunday night NASCAR was startled by a threat to driver Bubba Wallace. A noose was found in the garage, which serves as a symbol for the intimidation against the black population in America.

"This afternoon, a noose was found in the garage of car number 43. We are very angry that this could have happened and cannot stress enough that we will take action against it. We immediately started an investigation and will do everything we can to find the person who did this'', is the statement of the organisation.

It's a consequence of the big problems in America and all over the world. The Black Lives Matter movement revolted against racism in America and especially the violence of policemen against the black population after George Floyd was killed. However, the movement also has a counter-group.

Wallace himself left a message on his social channels. ''Today's disrespectful and racist act makes me very sad and shows once again that we need to continue the fight against racism. Over the past few weeks I've had a lot of support from colleagues in my fight against racism and together we need to make sure everyone feels welcome in this sport," said Wallace, ending with his mother's lesson to always stand up for what he believes in.
