NASCAR employees will receive sensitivity training in the coming weeks after a garage door pull tied into a noose was found in driver Bubba Wallace’s garage over the weekend.
NASCAR president Steve Phelps said, “We’ll make any changes necessary to our sanctions and our code of conduct and we will mandate that all members of our industry complete sensitivity and unconscious bias training.”
The FBI announced earlier this week that the noose was a garage door pull that had been in place for months and that Wallace, the only black driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, was not the target of a hate crime.

Phelps said he was “not sure” why no one else at NASCAR had expressed concern about the noose if it had been in place since last October.
He added they found just one rope resembling a noose across 1,684 garage stalls at 29 tracks in use on the circuit.
