“This is not going to break me, I’m not going to give up or give up. I’m going to continue to proudly represent what I believe in,” Wallace said.

NASCAR told CNN that the area of ​​the garage where the noose was found was limited to basic staff, which included racing teams, NASCAR officials, protection and health and protection personnel.
